Engine cut out while driving normally

[Catzsy]

quick update; decided to replace air filter, took old one out and low and behold it was smothered in oil.. so i've since replaced that. a lot less cut outs now, only 2 on a 10 mile test run. i've then temporarily taped up some loose air intake areas (i'll get fixed properly soon) and taped that disconnected pipe back better, only 1 cut out at the end of a 30 mile round trip... thought i'd fixed it but im pretty sure thats the problem found. when i get the pipe re-sealed as air tight and not just taped i'm sure it'll be fine

Hopefully you have solved the problem then

Did you not take the 306 for a test drive when you bought it?!

Typical that all this happens after you've bought it eh, with no sign of it about to happen on the test run either!
