I put a new heater valve in my old 323i at the weekend(thanks peninsula BMW for quick delivery). I now have heaters and demisters agian. However it now cuts out on the first few corners I take in the morning. Any conection? All the wiring in the engine bay seems to be in place. I also put in new spark plugs(the suppresser ones from NGK). Could this effect it?

It could be an earthing strap issue, corroded where you can't see it - do your cluster instruments 'die' when it cuts out? Alternatively if you're driving a bit hard with low fuel level it could be fuel starvation.. I can't think that any of the work you've had done would cause this directly, only disrupting wiring in the process.
