Hi Stevie, but would it not do it all the time if it was one of those you mention? As at the moment, I can't guarantee when it will do it, I drove again today around 20 miles and then later about 20 miles , nothing, didn't miss a beat, that's what makes it so weird, I am running the fuel right down as much as possible, as I am starting to wonder if a bad fill-up a month or so ago could have caused this (I usually top up again when it reaches halfway - so it might not have drained out the system properly yet) even though I did use fuel injector cleaner a couple of weeks back, perhaps need to fill it with some Optimax Diesel when it runs very low, then put some cleaner in it again?

It cut out when accelerating yesterday, foot flat down in 3rd, it just cut straight out.

Started up perfectly straight after but something definitely not right...
