It has also done it a couple of times when slowing up to a junction or stopping, it cuts out and the above issue.

On a couple of occasions recently it has misfired, lost power and cut out while driving and then the same starting issues.
The other issue the last few times has been sometimes it will not start from cold, it seems to run on one bank very badly then cuts out and is impossible to get going, other times it starts on the button and runs perfectly.

I am in 2 minds if it's a sensor or a fuel starvation issue.

Just be handy if anyone can shed some light if they know of the problem before I go down the route of trying to diagnose different options and ripping my hair out .

Cheers
Darren
Darren what is this light. ", the cat temp warning light ?

It could be a problem with the cam position sensor, low magnetic field, gets weaker with heat and slow engine speeds.
