Guess what the problem was ?. The Battery.

3 years old and giving low voltage puting the computer into a spin.The dealer installed the battery free of charge. After several days the car is running like a dream with no faults so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

In some way this does make sense change of battery.
hope it all works out for u after the change of battery.
