I have an 02 VX and I'm having a problem where the car turns off randomly while driving and it's only when turning at traffic lights and roundabouts and the thing is it doesn't happen all the time. I got Advanced Engine Diagnostics software and got these fault codes can anyone tell me if these could cause that to happen?

Ha you need to do a full transmission flush , transmission fluid will cause your car to randomly cut out , bet you anything fluids all black , change your transmission fluid also you get shaking coming through steering wheel I bet anything as well

Every two years you have to replace transmission fluid , I do a full flush every two years using full synthetic fluid , transmission failure is 80% to do with trans fluid , and when coming to traffic lights or slowing down as the original thread described cuts out are symptoms of transmission fluid needing to be replaced , and looking at his diagnostics he needs new trans fluid I bet you a million dollars his transmission fluid is BLACK

right ill have to do that then, though the engine does have a starting issue too which I thought could be related to it
