Nigel get the garage to clean all the connectors at the EMU and the sensors in the engine bay especially the throttle sensor. and also the ignition amplifier. its 13 years old, mine is 15 and the old connections are starting to do a bit dickey due to oxidisation. Did the above myself last or the year before I cant quite remember but she was misbehaving abit and would go into limp home mode sometimes. afterwards she has been fine ever since. Just gas and oil since. Good luck Chris.
