My MY99 has had 4 engines in 12 months due to ecu fault (see elsewhere) however, I am still paranoid that it has problems. I have noticed that when I have just under a quarter of a tank (1mm below on guage), hard cornering and fast acceleration causes it to run slightly rough. Is this normal..??? Thanks...

The only time I have had fuel briefly cut out is when the fuel light was on (9 litres left on a MY99) and going round a roundabout at speed.

MKC if you are having fuel starvation pretty bad you might want to look at changing your fuel pump.
The standard ones are not really that great.
