sounds very much like Lambda sensor has gone.
reach behind the turbo, disconnect it then see what its like. if its all smoth and lovely, then you'll need a new one ;)

the lambada has already been disconnected.Was having a look through the history and 2 years ago it has 3 coil packs replaced,was wondering if it could be the one they did not replace starting to break down?

Gatwick are very good yes, but are a main dealer, so not the cheapest!
