Hi mate and WELCOME TO THE FORUM :wave:
Those are classic symptoms of a failing crank sensor. Cheap and easy to fix.
Hope that helps,
Alan

Absolulty the same problem I had with my Marea 2.4 JTD.
The crank sensor was only around £30 and its located at the back of the engine near the gearbox and was a little bugger to get to. you have to go in from under the car. even then I had to feel my way around.
Took about an hour to change and the car hasn't missed a beat since.
