Peugeot 307 cc was over-revving on a straight road. I pulled over and turned off the engine, it wouldn't re-start. AA weren't able to get it going again so towed to Peugeot for investigation. Any ideas what it could be and how much it's likely to cost?

Proberbly a throttle body problem, hard to say without being able in test first hand and as for cost, this will depend on what actually has failed, if a drive by wire throttle, a diagnosis scan should be the first action taken.
