Its o/s/f and is behind the wheeel arch plastic liner and then carefully concealed behind another plastic piece (forget what thats for).

I had similar issues and it turned out to be fuel pump related and occurs when 1/3 - 1/4 full as the pump cannot draw the fuel out of the lower parts of the tank via the eductor pumps (which require the main pump to provide a good flow to "lift" the fuel out of the lowest parts of the tank using a venturi effect). The issue hasnt re-occured since the pump was removed, given a good optical bollocking, and re-seated. I thought at first that it was a battery/electrical problem due to the symptoms you describe AND the fact that I had left the car for a month and battery was v weak. Has the car been sitting for a while?
