Thanks so much for getting back to me... the thread you linked is the one that got me the replace the solenoid valve which has somewhat fixed that initial problem. The code was cleared and has not came back on. I have drove it today for about half an hour or so but just around the doors incase it stalled and would not restart and the eml has not came back on and there is nothing showing on the diagnostics tool. The whistling noise sounds like wind blowing through a gap. There is also a strong smell of petrol when the acceleration jerks during driving. I'm starting to wonder if something has been left loose or the MAF sensor has been damaged when the air filter was changed? I'm not even sure if that is possible? This is all from self research as I have had the car to a garage and also had an auto electrics mechanic to look at car and neither had worked on this type of engine so where not a great deal of help other than to tell me to get the car into a dealership to be looked at properly by an expert. The car is no longer in limp mode since changing the solenoid and actually feels like its driving okay power wise other than the intermittent jerking on acceleration. I also had the auto stop-start problem that is mentioned in the thread you linked and that has also been rectified I am just now left with a whole new host of issues. Only other thing probably worth mentioning is with regards to the mpg. The digital display fluctuates wildly when driving and has my average at 16.4 mpg. I guess I might have to bite the bullet and take it into a dealership
