Cheers Rob, may need to do that.
Will give it a try Kev and i just noticed a bit of slack in the throttle cable as well so I may not have been getting 100% throttle
Odd sound just below the main coolant tank when the ignition is turned on to hearing the fuel pump prime

Reset didn't work unfortunatly it just lost the radio and trip miles data)
CEL remains on solid, ontop of that the clutch peddle just started to stick slightly just before the highest point then come up the rest of the way

It was PPP fitted at the dealership about 7 months ago and the warranty ran out 3 months ago. Im not sure how many miles would be safe to be driving it to get it fixed as the last thing i would need is to drive it too long with the light on. The silly thing is that the car runs fine and no hesitation/kangaroo either.
Waiting for a call back from ACE to see when they could look at it.

Have you tried turned the ignition on/off a few times and then leaving it off for a few hours? My CEL light came on about 6 months ago and as long as I recycled the ignition a few times and then left it off for a while it cleared the CEL.
Admittedly it did keep coming back so I bought a PSI3 which showed 1) misfire on cyl 3 and 2) exhaust gas temp sensor fault (both common CEL codes).
They both came and went for a while then went for good.
I expect my PSI3 data lead will struggle to reach from my dash to under your steering column but you're welcome to try. :-)

Excellent - got a secs unit from the old car in the attic, so no probs with plugging it into the car - just have to check that it still works.
If you are around tomorrow afternoon/early evening, could come straight out.
If you're interested let me know and we'll sort something.

Had a power cut so couldn't get on here this morning but im back on. Called the RAC out from my mobile and it came back with error code P0031 which comes back as the O2 sensor. Hopefully its just that and not a MAF problem.
Cheers for the offers of help people its much appreciated
Until its fixed its a feather light right foot for me when going to get it fixed

That'll be the heater circuit in the oxy sensor that heats the ceramic tip up so it goes porous to sense the o2 that is left in the exhaust gas , heater circuit normal resistence 3 ohms cold and 9 to 14 ohms warm .Or fuse for the heater circuit blown if fused or may be ecu supplied power not sure on scoob .
