engine dies at traffic lights

Hi All,
three times in the last month my (1991 9000 CD - 2.3 FPT) has simply died eg when running the revs drop off quickly until the engine is off. This has happened twice at traffic lights after several minutes waiting and once just as I was coming off a round about (no fun losing power steering and brakes in such a situation). In every case the engine has restarted immediately when I have turned the ignition key (no waiting needed at all) and then gone on to get me home without complaint.
Another clue may be that it has twice done the opposite - a sudden and short increase in revs accompanied by a kind of a bucking sensation then back to normal idle revs.
Also one of the turbo hoses (stamped with an R) does have a pin hole in it that I have taped over with a strong tape usually used for temporary repairs to coolant hoses.
So far it has had new plugs (NGK BCPR7ES) and a I have installed my spare DI cassette (known to be good) but the problem persists.
Any other ideas?
thanks
