Nissan Almera Cutting out

I own a P reg nissan almera, it has been a great car & never given me any problems. About 3 weeks ago, i though i had stalled the car in traffic, & re started the engine & drove off. It now appears that the car is cutting out. There is no warning that the car is going to cut out.

It only happens when i am coming to a stop & going from second gear to first gear that it cuts out. The only reason that i know that it has cut out as all the lights come on my dash. It makes no noise when cutting out & i am getting a bit worried as it has now happened twice in two days. When the car cuts out, i can immediately re start it by restarting the ignition.

I am going to take it to the garage but wondered if anyone had any ideas as to what it might be? Many thanks

    Highly likely, good dollop of carb cleaner down the injection throttle body may just help too;)
