Very intermittent problem with what i can only suspect to be the turbo. While im accelerating fairly hard (both times its happened while joining m/way in 3rd gear) no higher than 3500rpm. It feels as though ive hit the red line then i lose all power. First time it happened there were no dash warning lights, i pulled over, turned the engine off and then on again and its been fine ever since (about 4 months ago). Then last night, same situation joining the m/way at about 40mph, did it again but this time the dash said 'engine fault' 'service'. Pulled over and restarted engine and its been fine since. Getting the car booked into a garage next week, but searching the various ford forums i cant seem to find anything on this issue.

Any ideas?
