Thanks scooby - will certainly keep them in mind (not far from me either).
Ok, so I decided to buy a VIDA DiCE device which came yesterday. I had initial worries if I would receive cheap china version but its not thank god. I managed to get the software installed with not too much issues and connected to the car this morning and hey presto!
Expecting a list of codes as long as my arm, there was only one which was related to the climate control not working on a particular side....so I cleared the code before I set off to work (only 10 mile trip) - gonna connect it back up when I get home tonight.
I also have a work trip to Leeds planned for Thursday (200 mile round trip) and I have had the car go into limp mode twice in the last several months so this will be a good test if it brings up further codes.
now....not sure if only having this one unrelated code is a good or bad thing as there is still an issue when accelerating between 40-70.
If its not related to the engine, then likely a physical problem? Any other ideas?
