04 1.8 Stalling when braking - KevHull87
It has happened a few times whilst i've had the car, usually at night when its not yet warmed. It usually happens, if it does, coming up to roundabouts when braking from 60-70 mph, but not hard. I brake smoothly, put the clutch down when the revs are getting towards 1200-1300 RPM but it still stalls.

Any idea's what it could be?

Probably clutch switch not working or activating. Suggest investigate that first, then if nothing obvious, get a code read.
