Unfortunately there may be a few reasons - I used to run the car then stop somewhere - pull of about an hour later & get exactly what you have. It got worse during the summer - the same spot on the way home from work - I used to boot it up a hill - it turned out to be a thermostat in the coolant hose - £15 & sorted. I can't believe it's just happened . Hope it's a quick fix My Sport was brought with my heart & not my head - it had compressor issues & the thermostat problem apart from that its been ok still myself when the thing bleeps or lights up like a Christmas tree

Just found this thread, sounds like a faulty fuel filter.

Does yours only do it on hard acceleration from stand still? |

His wife used the car for school run and shopping, probably never got out of 30 mph zone, in 3 years she done 12000 miles, I got it, and withing 30 mins I was on motorway booting it.
