I've got what has been a very trusting ford Mondeo, 2001 model.

I've notice over the last few weeks when i take my foot off the gas (yes the clutch goes in) the car is cutting out (stalling) Would it be a case the of needed a tune up. It seems to be running fine otherwise, idles fine, starts on the button as norm.

Would this be an easy fix or time for a new car. Don't really want this to happen on the M4 next week.

Best pop it in a garage, get any error codes read. Could be anything from MAF, EGR, fuel pump, dodgy HT lead/s, anything. Whatever it is I doubt it will be overly expensive to rectify.

As above, that sounds like a sensor issue, MAF/Camshaft/Crankshaft sensor most likely.

Seeing as it appears to drive fine (when not stallling) I would say as already mentioned, probably not the most expensive fix, provided scanning the car provides a useful fault code. If not it may be a couple of hours diagnosing it.
