After a good wiggling around the ignition barrel the cut-out problem has not occurred again. How are you getting on with yours?
Cheers til the next time....

You guys are being really helpful. I am in fingers crossed mode at present.

I wiggled every wire I could find around the immobiliser and the ignition barrel and did succeed in getting rid of the engine management orange light which is slightly encouraging. Have you had any further luck ?

Just to add Coffeekid - your dealer will almost certainly refer this back to Caterham HQ. If so, don't take any rubbish from them.  After mine went back to Caterham for the fourth time, I had HRH the Chief Executive on the phone telling me the fault did not exist, no other car had had the problem and their technician could not replicate the fault. I pointed out that I had an email from their tech guy saying it had cut out on him on a test drive, but the ChX dismissed that fact and the best they offered (remember this was under warranty) was to sell it for me - complete with fault - on commission!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not very helpful to you but can I say how wonderful it is to see someone describe EXACTLY the problem I have had on my 160 from when it was new. The car was built by Caterham for us and they gave-up trying to find the cause. The cut-out of all power and the speedo and rev needles taking a dive to zero for a second could happen when overtaking a big truck in the outside lane of a motorway and was terrifying to experience, even though it all came back on a split second later. I always suspected the ignition switch and got Caterham to replace it with a key switch plus starter button. This cured it for a while but this week the curse was back.  I shall try all the things suggested but please keep reporting back, especially if you find the answer.

I just tried to book one of the hotel rooms on offer and the hotel website responded that it had none available.  And I thought I was quick off the mark..............
