    Engine shut off while driving

    This is with Disco 3 4.0 petrol with no history of such behaviour.
    The first one happens in half way through a 3km dirt road after the car has rented in amping ground for 2 days. Engine stopped suddenly and I saw mil light came on followed by many other lights on the dash. There was a message I believe something todo with brake light. I should have paid more attention but in haste I tried restarting the car which it did as normal and no faults on the dash.
    Happened again in 10 mins later on bitumen in high speed. Lucky I managed to pull aside. Same error msg - which I forgot exact wording...I know...
    I opened the bonnet and checked battery and all the connections I can locate and touch. As before car started normally without any indication of fault. I managed to drive 30k to Mansfield and replace the rear breaks light bulbs (15d).
    I made approx 200 km since the incident, gremlins haven’t returned yet.
    It’s very puzzling. Not sure where to go from here hence asking your thoughts.

    I’ll gladly take your offer. Will PM.

    I just used an obd2 scanner and iPhone app...holly molly...there are 19 different codes!
    Google tells me
    U0122
    U0132
    U0073
    U0155
    U0167
    U0421
    These are all related to lost communication with things
    B1A87 battery disconnect
    U3E22 low fuel pressure
    C0001 TCS
    C0022 Brake booster
    C0006 Park Switch
    There are 8 codes related to ignition coil

    Not looking good...

    Not that I can see, but I am relying on a genetic odb scanner. Perhaps not reading all codes.
