Thanks to all for the replies.
The car was re-started by the RAC who came out (pretty embarrassing as it was only out of fuel). Once fuel was put in it started normally but ever since it has ran like a pile of s**t.
I don't know about any codes, do you mean if I've had it rigged up to a machine? I wouldn't know where to have this done...does it cost an arm and a leg to have it checked?

Thanks again all.
