Have taken a look around the forum but nothing definitively answers my question.
From time-to-time, and usually only when accelerating from a crawl and not a standing start, power is applied and then suddenly seems to dies until I completely release the accelerator and try again.
Until a couple of weeks ago I had only experienced this very occasionally and at one particular junction that's facing downhill, requires a near 180 degree turn, but does not need the car to come to a complete stop before taking off. However, in recent weeks it's becoming more common (perhaps a few times a week) and seems to happen at alternative locations and under slightly different circumstances.
Could this simply be that the gearbox hasn't selected the gear it needs or am I looking at something more serious?
The car is due in at Listers a week on Monday to try to source the juddering fault I mentioned here a couple of weeks ago, so if you have any thoughts ahead of this I'd appreciate it.

Possibly activation of the brake pedal switch?
Either a faulty switch or a clumsy foot that's pressing the brake pedal and the accelerator at the same time could cause it.MY2022 D5 HSE D300 - with extra nice bits added

Just had a call from the main dealer. They've had the car now for a day and found a faulty brake sensor, which wasn't communicating with the ECU properly. The accelerator wouldn't therefore work properly as it thought the brakes were being applied.
