    Ignition switch? Loose wires at the coil? Failing module? Sticking idle stepper? Get him to wriggle the key when it loses power.

    I have a 95 disco v8 and a similar thing happened to mine. It turned out to be the fuel pump located inside the fuel tank. It is an easy fix(10 minutes) to replace the entire unit. If you do make sure you vacuum around the entry point to the fuel tank or it will drop dirt etc into the tank.

    Following up on the fuel pump option check for a bad earth wire to the pump.
    It will cause intermittent stops as you go through bumps on the road and from experience starts pretty much straight away again.
