I was doing about 50 MPH in fifth gear and suddenly the engine had no power and when I pushed the clutch it died
I turned on my hazard lights went onto the verge of the road and stopped, when I turned the key it started up like normal and drove of like normal again.

It felt like pulling the sparkplug cable of your motorbike engine while driving.

Any body any suggestions what could have happend here?

Most of the time it seems to be an air bubble in the line - momentary glitch - off/on and does not repeat.
Although you have the 2.5 - so you should have the good fuel head -(do you have a lift pump?)
on the 2.8 - the fuel heater puc - is plastic so it tends to leak

It runs normal now, just to be on the sure side I emptied the glas bowl and primed the system again.
I was just starting to overtake when it happened, very scary, I hope it won't happen again at such a dangerous moment.
