Does the engine cut out altogether or does the engine lose power?

It cuts out altogether, I changed all the sensors, but still goes off, I even made 3 extra earths.

Check the turbo wastegate is not seized, but this shouldnt stop the engine altogether.

Check you fuel filter then check the fuel pump in the tank. I had a similar cutting out problem with my TD5 Defender which was caused by dirt and gunk in the fuel tank blocking the fuel pump's intake filters gauze. Cleaned my tank out and it has never happened again since.

Did you check the ecu's earth under the drivers seat. It's also worth checking the fuses and relays are secure and that the contacts are clean while yer there.
