  Had car for 2 months now (1998 24v estate) and car goes like a rocket! 2 weeks ago engine cuts out when selecting reverse from park. Start car in neutral and select drive and everything is ok but select reverse from neutral and engine cuts again! Car is getting heavy to push every time I need reverse  !

Yes reverse lights do work.
Car is in with local Ford dealer at moment (fuel pump not getting electrical feed?)but will tell them to try cleaning MAF and see if that helps gearbox - Cheers
