travelling on road and up hill in 3rd at about 35 40mph with foot to the floor, and the engine completely died, engine light came on and had to ditch at side of road. opened bonnet and found nothing odd, tried to start and it went first time, no warning lights nothing, travelled 40 miles , did an Aldi and back 40 miles no problems at all, wife says same thing happend to her a few weeks ago but thought it was her stalling it. had a starter changed 4 days ago but doubt this is related due to the wife having same prob weeks ago. read somewhere about relays under passenger seat may be loose but you guys got any other things i should check or ever heard of this happening before#

2003 td5 facelift model

cheers for help
 
fuel pump,blocked fuel filter, oil in the injector loom or faulty crankshaft sensor would be my first suspects.
 
check the spade conector behind the injection pump, this sometimes comes loose and cut the engine out...

It's a TD5 so it doesn't have one.;)
 
Same happened with our Disco TD5 2000 model. It was the fuel pump.
Driving along just fine, then all of a sudden the engine just cut out. Only just enough time to ditch on side of the road.

Hope this helps.

worse case could it be the head gone, crack or otherwise, thinking of selling up, wife says over her dead body and it is great with three kids but im looking for reliability and an egine cutting out just doesnt cut it
