So, the car totally died going round a slow corner a few days ago.
Pos clamp on the battery was sort of snug, but a couple of wires coming off it weren't.
So far, since tightening things up, no more ABS, no more crow.
Also noticed no battery clamp fitted.
I know - I KNOW - you mustn't ever expect a used car to be perfect, but seriously, a flappy around barely hooked up battery!?
Best guess, the battery/ wiring moving under braking, exacerbated by the warped brake disc making everything shake, was causing an electrical dropout that coupled to the box/ torque convertor basically going freewheel at lost speeds led to stalling.
Of course, the problem could come back, but 100 miles and counting without any signs of it.
