Rich.
Whatever it is it can be sorted,a scan should reveal the problem,maybe just a sensor on the blink.The main things to worry about which could involve big cash are engine,gearbox ,and body rot,followed by rear hubs and brake calipers.

Is it this one HERE ?
If so, then it sounds like the fuel cut off loom (engine loom) could be shot 
....Could also be something simple like an overheating fuel pump relay
