Hi,

Iv got a 1996 discovery v8 on petrol and LPG. The problem I keep having is sometimes it'll cut out dead when going around corners or round abouts then it starts straight up again also sometimes feels like it pulls back on power at times. The first problem happens on both fuel types and the second iv only ever experienced on LPG.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Al

Could be power related, I had a ford escort that did this. The cause? No nut holding the + cable onto the alternator. Simplest fix ever!

Check the king lead from coil to distributor. Every standard lead that I have seen has been 'only just' long enough. Mine has cut out because of this before I replaced the lead set.
