Reply With QuoteMy old Vitesse mess 4.6 91 RRC had a habit of doing similar things, no one could find the problem until a mate of mine found a dry solder on the engine ECU.
Repaired it and all good (back to chirp tyres off the line on dry asphalt)
The 3.5 should have enough torque to override seizing ancillaries I would think.
Is the alternator light is coming on when it just prior to stalling?
Your problem could be HT leads breaking down or a LT wire with a bad connection around the ignition with all the oil etc. Run it in a dark place and you will see cowboys and Indians on the offending leads.

Cowboys and Indians it is...
Just took a peek under the cover of darkness, and found nothing untoward. Took it for a bit of a run for things to warm up and it was like watching a fireworks show.
So. New leads? Think that will have it happy?

Go with the new Bosch leads, rarely have I been unhappy with them.

Thats what I wanted to hear.
New leads (yes, probably Bosch) will go on tomorrow morning.
I might just get this bloody thing good to go bush for the weekend after all!
I'll let you all know how it goes...

I'll let you all know how it goes...Your not on LPG so don't be to fussed on the expensive HT leads
AT REST
Not withstanding their cost (which I think is not that high) they have very good tight fitting boots which make them quite splash resistant, which is a definite help in a fourby.If you were a few closer I would have given you my spare set

If I were a bit closer I would have relieved you of the 120.
Thanks for the offer mate.
I'm all worried now... any one have any last minute recommendations? Last minute suggestions? Should I just replace the leads and suck it and see?

spark plugs may be worth a look.
If you actually could see the sparks on the HT leads and replace them you should be fine
TopicToaster
Good-o.
Was going to do plugs aswell anyway (they are due)
