I think thats why it has been so hard for us to diagnose, because it's not something happening all the time, just randomly and then appearing to be fine. We have checked things like the battery leads and terminals, and they are fine. I don't think it would be the starter motor because it does turn over when the electrics feel like letting it, and it usually turns off while you are driving. We are going to test the crank angle sensor, and then the coilpack, so hopefullly this will yield an answer.

My uncle had a gremlin like this, on his XE Ghia. Was an earth lead on the coil, took some finding too. I know AU's have a much different coil pack set up but that's my 2 bob worth.
All the best with it. Keep us posted (KUP)!
