Same as mine, sudden cut-out at about 40 mph.

For info, if the inertia switch triggers it cuts the power to the fuel pump but everything else still works. So the first thing to do is to reset the switch (black rubber covered push button to rear right hand side of the oil tank).

Also, if the fuel pressure drops the ECU doesn't fire the sparkplugs so don't (as I did) suspect an electrical problem.....
