been trying to search for an answer for this but i have come up short.

when i turn around a decent sized round about or a corner its like the power of the car is cut in half. this happens on both LPG and petrol.
the dash etc works as normal


Has anyone had this before? any ideas what to check

TPS or your accelerator sensor has a dead spot. Low coolant in the reserve tank making it go into limp mode, check all fluids, battery cables earth wires. Also could be a cam sensor.

Is this happening while you turn or after?
Does it go back to normal after the roundabout?
