Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
My laguna keeps stalling,strangely when turning a corner or roundabout,& steering locks & ABS braking is lost,making it hard to stop before hitting something!!
I have had engine management all diagnosed & rectified.No warning lights on.Except when it cuts out.I get STOP & ABS.But after narrowly missing other cars,pavements etc,it starts again & continues until another turn where I cut to 2nd gear & brake to slowdown for turns.Then it's cut & I'm in trouble.I felt safe & enjoyed the driving of this car,so quiet I wonder if running on duracells.But now it's a panic at important turns etc as I lose control due to engine cut out.
Car Manual faults list states for stalling,that it could be Poor compression,spark ugs,ignition,or air leak.But I haven't a clue.Can any mechanics(Renault knowledgeable or fault knowledge),help me solve this problem? The car is in pristine condition so far.But if a stall occurs on busy road I could be goosed!! Help?

I had exactly the same problem with my 1995 RXE.
I eventually put this down to a sudden decrease in revs so I moved the clip on the end of the throttle cable (rear of the engine) one or two notches and it hasn't happened since. My idling speed is under 500 rpm and all appears to be good.
