Before I take everything to bits - any ideas? The car runs fine and seems powerful as it should be - but when I get to a junction the revs drop a bit and it stalls.

It can sit and idle without stalling, for the most part.

No, just the standard gear in the engine bay.

I'd suspect a gummed up TPS or an air leak somewhere.
