hi all have a slight problem wiyh my mig every now and again she cuts out eg going round corners coming to a jct  she starts again no problems but i have to keep putting in the radio code every time this happens as it comes up safe on radio does anybody have any ideas why car keeps cutting out  it usually happens within 5 mins of driving from cold  as i say it dosent do it all the time strange and why does the radio code keep losing its code thanks

[hoofing it]

if the radio keeps needing re-coded i'd say it was a earth fault.
check battery terminals

[GLENNY BOY]

checked terminals seem tight enough to me

Take the terminals off and clean them .. while you are there check the earth (0V) strap connection to the chassis, and IIRC there is one from the engine block to the chassis as well.

Also check the main power fuses in the little box above the battery for security

Sounds like you are losing power to the whole system momentarily

yes thats right it cuts out when turning left or right etc where would these earth straps be thanks
