Is the problem more likely to occur when the gas tank is low
or on curves (clover leaf or round-about) at speed?

FOCUS TDCI 2002 EARLY MORNNG ENGINE FAILURES
Hi All,
Problem:- Car starts OK but after about a 1/4 to 1/2 mile engine cuts
out.Numerous attempts to restart are successful but after a few seconds
engine cuts out again., either in idle or revs.Finally runs and is
eventually OK for rest of the day.
OR
Car starts OK and is left to idle. after 3/4 minutes engine cuts out and
reverts to above for starting sequence.
OR
doing 70 miles / hour and approaching roundabout change down to 4th and
whilst doing so engine cuts out.
2 weeks to go of warranty and booked in but advise would be helpful.

The TSBs are for US cars only. They won't cover the TDCi.
Plugged or dirty EGR valves on the TDCi have been a cause of rough running,
so perhaps in an extreme case it could cause the stalling you are
experiencing?
