I have a Vauxhall Vectra 2006 2.2L. I was driving at 70mph on the motorway on the way to the airport when the car juddered and lost all power. With the accelerator flat to the floor, the car would only do 20mph. I managed to limp off the motorway and park the car up and luckily I was able to get a taxi in time to catch my flight. I am returning on Monday so would love to have some idea of what might be wrong with the car so I'm better prepared to deal with it when I get back. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

dash; Several possiblities; First thing that comes to mind, timing belt jumped; Loss of fuel pressure/volume (filter/pump?); Plugged catalytic converter.
