best bet would be getting it scanned for fault codes.

maybe the alternator?

Would put money on either ignition amplifier or coil pack.

Problem with those two issues is that they normally don't present themselves as fault codes when being scanned.

My old V5 would judder under accel and then almost cut out on decel. Swapped the coil and helped, but ignition amplifier was main culprit. After that it was plain sailing.
