Default Volvo 460SI - engine cuts out

Help!

This is "driving" me mad! I have owned a really nice 460SI for the last year or so & for 98% of the time it drives absolutely perfectly. Problem is that every so often the engine cuts out suddenly when you change gear, normally when it has been driven for 10 minutes or so - very disconcerting! Sometimes you can dip the clutch & rev it so it clears, but often it justs grinds to a halt. You can get the engine started again, but when you try to pull away the revs drop & it dies. Sometimes if you leave it half an hour it will be ok & it is fine if you leave it overnight. Every time I take it to the garage it works fine & they haven't a clue - any ideas would be gratefully received!!!

Thanks Steve
