Citroen C5 HDi problem
I've just had a water pump and cam belt fitted to my car its started up fine and drove for approximately two miles then started to knock and suddenly lost power it sounded like it was running on three cylinders and then cut out I tried starting it and its struggling to turn over and the heater motor suddenly stopped working as well at the same time the car stopped running. Please could you help me?

I'd guess that they messed up the job and that the new waterpump seized. Back to whoever did the job to fix the car free of charge, which they are legally obliged to do.
