    Just a quick update its at the garage (an independant) they have just rung its had its diagnostics and its the EGR something valve? they can bypass it for £80 or put a new one in price starting at £250. He said its a common fault with these cars and he has bypassed them many times and the problem is sorted.

    Out of warranty I hope? If not you will not want to jeopardise your warranty and anyway it would probably be covered anyway?
