I am having a problem where I am brakeing to a stand still and the engine cuts out. It mainly happens when I get to a roundabout and i need to then turn the ignition off then back again and it starts straight away. There is no shuddering or any thing. HELP HELP

Most likely Idle Speed Control Valve. They get blocked with carbon deposits so try removing it, cleaning it with carburettor cleaner or something similar, then put it back on and see if it's any better....
