Hi, Only a flying answer so may not be able to follow up soon.
Do you notice it as pulling up and changing down gear or just slowing down by braking?.
If its gear change related I seem to remember a loom somewhere under the gear lever that caused an issue. But I may be well off the mark but I have a feeling it was a cut out wont start?

Hope it helps.

no when slowing down and changing gear it the engine just cuts out, no warning no change from the engine. but when it is idling the engine rev dips and splutters sometimes it cuts out, sometimes the engine will go back to normal idling revs.

i have had the timing belt done, new egr valve, new clutch and gearbox, fuel lines and fuel filter but it still cuts out without any signs.

i had it at the main dealer any they could not find the problem.
