    I'm certainly not an expert mate but sounds similar to problems I had with my 2.2 Direct. Ended up having a new fuel pump and regulator.

    Similar symptoms with failing camshaft sensors as well iirc.

    Luckily nothing cause I'd only had the car a week! But I don't think pumps and regulators come cheap. Should be ok if you are under warranty.

    If your car is looking anything like your avatar then i think that may be the problem

    Had the same problem, got it repaired under warranty. Seems to be common problem with the 2.2 Direct.
