Has anyone been "working" on it, adjusting this and that?
Has ECU been changed?
Did you see my "fixing and van thats been fixed" thread a couple of weeks ago...

Just an idea.
It maybe a fuel tank vacuum which is why it only happens after a long run.
You will need info from one of the gurus on here ref where the breathers are and how to check.

i have the same its just started to happen but its random long run or short it just dies
always starts again but a pain with a auto box going 35 mph around a roundabout and it all goes dead
all lights on dash light up
so move gear selector into N and restart
which is fine except if your not quick the steering lock clicks on as you are still moving the wheel and driving while all this is going on
