Its been on but it doesnt come up with any faults.

I have been out again to check the vacuum hoses for any leak but still cant see anything

With it cutting out at the same oil temp all the time, does anyone think it could be the oil pressure sensor? I have read it may cause the problem. Although saying that i was looking in my bentley, and if you read it doesnt mention a sensor, only switches

No the Oil pressure sensor is just for the warning lights doesnt effect the ECU.

I thought so. It was just in the cutting out thread. Just been having a read but no closer to discovering the problem.

Engine speed senser, a very common cause of cutting out and it might not register a fault code. Also even if a vac hose looks ok they can become brittle in areas you might not be able to see, i'd just swap them all for silicone stuff, its pretty cheap off the bay.

Maybe you should write out a list of what you've changed/replaced so far so we can narrow it down.

The speed sensor is new (well a year old) and looks ok to me. Will start a new post with  it
