Before changing the part, it may be worth connecting up to some diagnostic equipment to see if a fault code is stored.  Part is around £60 and is fairly easy to fit...

A bit far from me to come out help :(

As I said, see if you can find someone who can read the fault codes...

Just to add tht I have a 2001 2.6 V6 Auto for the past 5 years and it is a fine car indeed.... suggest you try to hold on to it and get the problem sorted with some help from the wise ones (not me) here.

Don't fancy losing any body parts Mark.  ;)

All i will say is, I agree with you, more accurate information will be required, starting with a list of stored DTC's, if there are any, before a correct diagnosis can be made.

You'll have noticed the 'I bet' is completely missing from this post.  ::)

You say you loose ALL ELECTRICS. Is everything dead at this time, no dashboard lights, no radio no door lights etc? And what happens in the 5 to 10 minutes that it won't start, is it the same or does it turn over.

If it really is loosing all electrics you will be replacing everything and still not find the problem.
