Just been to the dealer and had my 'Check Engine' light diagnosed as a faulty Throttle Position Sensor...
Anybody got an ideas what this is ?
Does its fault account for my higher fuel consumption ?
Its going to be fixed under warranty but it sounded expensive... for a small bit !!!
Thoughts...

It's one of the sensors that the ECU uses to work out what kind of fueling/ignition timing to run - it tells the ECU how much right foot is being uses....
