My Ford Focus 2000 Diesel got the same problem when driven 300.0000 km. The engine kept dying while driving long distances. Sometimes it could die every km and sometimes I could drive for hours without problem. The accelerator was changed (110 €) and the problem disappeared. Afterwards I opened the old accelerator and found out the carbon stripes were worn out on the 5 cm piece of plastic. I guess that small piece would have cost 50 c if replaced.
- But they don’t repair them even if it could have been done in 10 minutes!

This problem occurred when I would turn on the A/C. I took it in to my friend, experienced mechanic, and he said it was the A/C system licked so that's why my car was dying randomly while driving. They also mentioned that a connection was a little rusted and the fan was running all the time fast so they "removed" the rust from the connection. This connection is the one that plugs just in front of the fan. Well, after 2 weeks that I took the car in for service, the car started doing the same thing again. So I said let me have a look at the connection. It was rusted badly. So I took my little flat file and took all the rust out and the car since then, almost 2 years hasn't had a problem.
