check the basics:-
clean the TB, I have heard and seen in the past when people have installed head units of them drawing power even when off, may just be enough every journey to cut it out.... unplug it at the back and see if its the same
revving engine, could be the MAF - aain unplug it and see if it still does it

Harlemex - The issue happens both when the car is hot and cold, and it doesn't matter what distance is travelled it will always at some point cut out.

Dalo Harkin - I have already removed the TB, cleaned it thoroughly (it was pretty grubby) and replaced it. The head unit hasn't been in the car since the car started cutting out and I have already tried it with the MAF unplugged - still no joy

Paultownsend - cheers mate, very much appreciated.
