Its the usual behaviour cutting out approching junctions slowing down ect sometime starts straight away but sometimes have to wait 3-5mins before it will fire up again.

Or if you fancyy a trip up the M60 I have a 'Cheapo Techh II' that might be able to read any codes that maybe logged - I need time to borrow my Dad's lappy first though.  ;)
