yes i had this on many an occasion for a year...
1st prob >> management light would come on then when the car stopped it wouldnt start again unless it got bump started. Car was in and out of vaux for about a year! Found out in the end it was a dodgy starter and the battery cells were all fucked.
2nd proB > driving along management light come on. Stopped car at traffic lights with the engine runing and my handbrake light came on (even thothe handbrake wasnt on) the fuel gauge went down to empty an when i pulled away the car instantly stalled and wouldnt start. Whe trying to start the car, it would start then cut straight off... got tow'd to vaux and after stripping it appart, foundout it was a fucke dup ECU. IT was loose in its mounts (apparently and wasnt making contact correctly, and alos due to it moving bout it had damaged sum parts of it. Car in for 2 days and was fixed.
glad i got shot of it now!

Its probably the mass air flow sensor. This is what went wrong on my red one, and went wrong a couple of times on my black one.
