1.9CDTi SRi 150ps cutting out?
Driving along at say 70mph. All of a sudden you need to brake heavily to slow down (Also does it at slower speeds), by force of habit, I take the car out of gear, and brake. In all my previous cars, it's been fine, but in the Vectra, it seems to just cut off, and lights come up on the dash (The battery, and all the other red lights etc).
Any ideas?
Not a good habit taking the car out of gear when u break. Never been taught that when I was learning to drive. Think you need to stop that habit ASAP!
I think you need to get someone else to drive your car and see if they have the same issue before you start checking things as it could well be your driving style that is the issue.

Peter Griffin: Ah, c'mon, Lois, isn't 'bribe' just another word for 'love'?
I know it's not lol. Just a bad habit picked up, which I've been trying to get out of it with the new car.
I'll do that.Seems to be fine when I brake hard in gear, as I gave it a try too.
If you are braking hard out of gear it may be the cause as iirc the servo utilises the engine revs? as above, time to change driving style.
Thought it better to bump this than start a new thread. My car is doing exactly the sme thing did anyone have an answer to why this happens so i can sort it out as its starting to get annoying. i thought it may have been down to the third injector but i've changed that and it still does it.
POsted the possible answer to this a few times without anyone ever getting back to say its fixed or not fixed it... Fuel pressure rail connector plug can get fretting/corrosion.. Mine does this every now and again when knocked out of gear or even in gear coming down to idle it'll die altogether.. More ofter than not will have to wait a few mins (up to about 10mins) before it'll restart.. Either that or the fuel cutoff solenoid...

mine always restarts straight away thankfully. it is usually when slowing down it happens. I'll have a check into the things above. Its just getting annoying now as it looks like i've stalled lol
