Oh u probably got the Mk 3 "disease" then mate.

Try the relays - cutting out is the fuel pump relay i think.

Don't forget the basics.  When it happened to me, I thought I'd be cleaning out fuel system components and changing relays, but after I changed the plugs, oil and filters (oil, air, fuel and even pollen!), it's been fine.

Jus got in from work!!
thanx for the response  ;D. i'm gonna try the relay first (?7.51 from euro car parts), then if it carries on then i'll do a mini service. Well according to the service book, it had a 10k service (dont know what that involves) about 1500 miles ago. Oh by the way, where is the rely located (i know it sounds stupid, i havent looked for them yet).

once again thanx

Changed the fuel pump relay, no 24 yesterday. Thought that did it,but no, jus cut out about 20 mins ago. put my amp in yesterday, that wouldn't affect the relay would it?????

Numerous cures for this problem as it could be numerous things!! (do a search for previous topics). Initial problem on mine was cured by replacing relay 30 (hall sender relay..I think). Stalling when approaching traffic lights was cured by a can of powerboost cleaner in the throttle bodies. Try these first as relatively cheap fixes. www.ecotekplc.co.uk.

This might help:

It might be best to replace everything if it costs IRO ?60 to get a diagnostic check, plus, you will have brand new electrics ready for winter.
