OK Finally got to the bottom of this problem.

Code reader said 13 Fuel Pump Relay or Purge Valve did component test on both and reader returned OK.

As discussed earlier I changed the main replay pack as this was most likely cause but that made no difference. (80 quid gone there)

So for last month I have been running with purge valve disconnected (just mutli-plug disconnected) and its never missed a beat.

Then last week once it was warmed up I reconnected the purge valve and guess what; it cut out 3 times in 2 miles.

Disconnected again and has run fine.

Took the valve off and tested on a battery and seems to open and close OK so guess its either sticking sometimes or its a wiring fault between the valve and ECU.

Does not seem to affect performance or economy (still getting 40/gal which is more than my Bini cooper s) so think I will just leave it disconnected as new part is 90 odd quid there are some second hand ones on ebay but they might just do same.

MOT in a couple of weeks so will see if it has affected the emissions figures. 

 

Anyway I am very happy its sorted car is now my daily drive.

Thanks for all the advice and suggestions
