    has this just started doing this or has it gradually got this bad.. Sounds a rather like a fueling issue to me, don't those engines suffer from fuel pump probs. how many miles has the car done

    Fuel Pressure Regulator maybe. Do you get a spanner light? Can you get fault code? If you dont have a code reader I think you can retrieve fault codes without a reader, somewhere on these forums explains how..

    Very easy about 10 15 mins 3 torx bolts holding the pump on to the engine then you just need to take the fuel line off the pump remember to depressurize the fuel line first by pushing the little nib in.

    you maybe able to get a pump cheaper then that the dealers will always have you off when it comes to these things
