When we first got the car the Engine management light was on, and it would cut out as you dropped the clutch down at junctions etc, its still cutting out but the engine management light isn't on any more.

Any idea's what it could be ? I was think ICV but you lot know more than me

check the fuses dude... bet you theres one gone, speedo may read off the abs sensors so start with fuses/relays for abs first

its integral with the clocks, but if you've got an abs warning thats where the problem will be for definate

Could that problem be to do with it cutting out too do you reckon?

Yeah if your speedo pick up is off the abs system and this has gone tits up then theres no signal to the vss, this would cause the car to display a vss fault code and cut out under the cicumstances you are describing
