Sounds like crankshaft sensor at fault.

The resistance changes with temperature and if faulty the cuts out until it cools down.

Check fault codes with a scanner and see if crank sensor comes up

Hi

No fault codes, no lights etc on dash, very confusing have ordered a new sensor an glow plugs, so we'll see how these work.

Thanks for your time on the reply
