Also, since the cam sensor was replaced, does that code return still?

When was the last time the car was serviced, specifically topside of engine such as spark plugs, coils, injectors, etc. The direction I'm taking this line of questioning is to see if maybe a DME connector wasn't quite seated correctly. Typically when that happens you will get a lot more faults, but anything's possible.
Hey, thanks for the suggestions - it’s seems you may very well be spot on!

Since I wrote the post above, the guys replaced the replacement sensor (to rule out a faulty replacement and then re-fitted/checked the connectors and..... so far, so good!

Hard to be certain because the issue is so random - can be WoT, cruising or zero throttle, high speed, low speed, Comfort, Sport+, you name it.

I’ve managed a 90 minute run and a few short runs since picking it up without issue (which bodes well) so hopefully sorted. I’ll update here either way.

Thanks again for the post
