It has happened a few times now, but today when i went from a left hand corner to turn into a right hand corner, the frot end of the car dipped and lost power,

it felt like a starvation of fuel or something as it kicked straight back in and accelerated half a second later?

Do i need to check my FPR or ?

Cheers guys, JJ :(

Sounds fuel related alright.

Could be a blocked pickup in the tank or something, this problem came up at work
the other day and it turned out to be the pickup.

It sounds like as the fuel swishes to one side it is starved for a moment. Also might be
worth checking the FPR and the pump.

Best of luck with it.

might be worth checking all plugs on the engine. as it maybe pulling a wire if there is too much engine movement that the cornering would give.

I would check to see if it does it when the TC is off because sometimes when i accelerate hard and change from 1st to second there is a pause in power and TC light does not flash but when its off there is no problem. TC light does work because it does flash round some corners when drivin abit harder
