Problem sorted, turned out to be disconnected wire caused when fitting new MAF sensor.

Had diagnostics checked today at dealers, luckily done under warranty, they replaced MAF sensor but now car running worse than before, seems very slow to pick up. Had a good drive about and noticed that unlike before I can not hear the turbo ( it used to whine as it kicked in ). I have contacted...

With the original MAF sensor disconnected the ECS and ESP indicaters show on dash, when MAF reconnected ESP clears immediately after starting but ECS takes some time to clear, any idea why the ESP should show a fault ?
