My 2003 2.0 V6 started cutting out on me today whilst driving.
It happened 5 or 6 times; the ignition cuts out and the battery and engine warning lights come on but the car restarts immediately.
I've taken it to my local F1 garage for diagnosis and quote but would like to know what to expect.

Hi and welcome to the club. I'm not " clued up on your engine but there are many here who know them inside out and will no doubt answer any questions you have. I hope it's not to serious buddy and that you be a happy owner again.

Hello Alex and :welcome: to the club.

What you are experiencing sounds like 'fuel filter separation' which causes a reduction in fuel pressure. There's lots to read about this on the forum, just search for 'FFS' or 'orange clip' (which is what you need to solve the problem). :}
