I'd clear the codes then recheck them later to see which have been set again. Seems like non-specialist garages can light up loads of codes when they touch your car and they don't know how to reset the ecu.

So is there any way I can reset the ECU?

Clear the codes using the in-engine code reader, then leave the battery disconnected overnight just to be sure.

This is doing my head in m8s
I cleared all the code as said and this morning it was a joy to drive untill after about 45mins and it started doing it again but I have noticed that if I keep it well revved up it will go like sh*t off a shovel and I do mean go like even the reves will climb to 7000+
and doing wheel spins in 2nd gear when nearly stopped.
Sorry for all the questions and many thanks for all the help but what can i do next???
