Hi all,

In the last couple of weeks this has happened twice, both times on fast direction changes but not sure if that's relevant, both at night with lights on too.
Turn in to a bend quickly & engine & electrics all go off, as in the title it happens really quickly & immediately restarts. Any ideas? I don't like it!

Or Battery itself not secure and sliding around and so grounding the Positive Terminal to the car metalwork.

Thanks everyone. The battery terminals are fully tight but I changed the battery a couple of months ago and forgot to put the battery fixing bit back on so that might well have been the problem.
Been out today and done about 80 miles with no repeat of the problem so hopefully that was it. I'll try to replicate it in the exact same places it happened before and see what happens.
