Technical read a few posts on here, just a quick couple of questions

When the car has stopped due to this problem, try to start the car, then whip a plug out. If its wet its an ignition problem, possiby coils breaking down.
If dry, then its a fuel supply problem, so start to look at fuel relay, pump, etc.

I think it might be ignition, as the lambda is seeing unburnt fuel.

coolent temp sensor?

the twin pin one on the thermostat? if its hot and its reading cold itll put more fuel in?

failing that does anyone have a known good set of coils?

Unlucky Adam. Sometimes things just work out that way...

On the plus side, you've done a lot of work to the Cinq that would eventually need doing anyway!
