thanks CabrioDave, makes sense

Just hoping that the garage will find it quick and cheaply!

well that was fun trip to garage.
service and brake fluid done quick and cheap

when looking into limp mode confirmed as air system leak so did a pressure test and leaking from turbo inlet pipe and massive leak on the inlet manifold - yay!
looking at days labour to replace gasket and bolt(s) if break
also noticed dpf regen not been happening and is 80% full, and so if not clear when everything else done strip and clean of this required as well

nothing quite like buying a premium lemon
