A few months ago, my car started stalling when I was reversing only. This stopped Then it started just stalling while driving, losing power then just stopping, at any speed. Eg: driving at 80k's and the engine just cut out. It starts again straight away, sometimes with no problems again, sometimes it will keep stalling. When you first start the car, engine cranks for a good 3/5 seconds before it starts. Any ideas?

This could be hard to pinpoint. The symptoms suggest a possible break in the wiring somewhere triggered by the engine shifting. I would try manipulating the wiring harnesses and see if anything triggers a stall.
