not an uncommon problem with this engine, fault is normaly in the electrics, check the conections for the fuel shut off valve, also a bottle of injector cleaner in with your fuel would not hurt.

The injector's getting blocked. You need to drive at a constant speed of 70mph for at least 20 miles. Also, check that you are using a decent grade of diesel, NOT Tesco's or Sainsbury's. Hopefully, this will clear it up.

I had a problem with the diesel engine intermittently dying on me and I found that it was a lose whire to the engine cut out, the same one that stops your engine when you switch off
