David, sounds like it could be a sticking autobox solenoid....they tend be worse in winter at start up on a frosty morning :)

tonyboy, if it's stalling when the steering is on full lock, then you may have a faulty power steering pressure switch :)

What does the autobox fluid look like ?

hi there

i'd go for giving the idle by valve a clean. to be it sounds like it's not holding the revs with a load is applied.

remember to take note of the direction the multi plug is facing as the valve can go on the wrong way round.

there you go, 3 ideas to work from!
