On my way to work this morning I was coming down a hill to a set of lights (red) so as usual, I dropped it into 2nd and started braking but (with the clutch down) the battery and oil lights came on and the revs dropped to zero. As soon as I lifted the clutch though it was all normal again (as if it had bump started as it was still rolling downhill), now admittedly I had my music up quite loud so couldn't hear if the engine actually stopped or not but turned it off (the music) and the car was fine for the rest of the journey.
I've noticed her randomly stalling a couple of times before, usually either going up or down hills and at junctions (thankfully so I can restart the engine on a red light!). I've got a spare set of spark plugs, would it be worth getting a new set of leads and switching them out (they were only done about 5k ago, though that was a year back)? If that doesn't sort it, anywhere else I should look?
Cheers!
