Had a few problems with our 2005 plate 3.2 GT Coupe.

The car will tick over fine, but has lost all power - just happened out on the road and had to be recoved - I am wondering if a cat has collapsed and blocked up the exhaust

Any ideas?

Try unplugging the air flow meter.

Good stuff. If you ever get it again and you are out and about, you can simply unplug it.
The ECU goes into a default safe mode and it is OK to drive.
