That normally happens when battery is low, or has a loose connection or earth, or a dodgy alternator, Sam

Petrol or diesel? If the engine actually stops whilst the vehicle is moving, it will give a "Gearbox Fault" so you can probably ignore that. Need to find out why the engine stopped, get the faults read.

My mate had this problem

The problem was a dodgy relay.

He switched the relays around to find the faulty one.
