I have now found if I do the throttle reset as you described (I know a lot of people say this does nothing but it most certainly makes a difference to my car) then drive the car fairly hard for a few journeys the problem then goes again until it re adapts to town driving.
Might well be the case re the car sort of slips into a town mode... It will be something that I will keep an eye on.

But the simple key in and 30second throttle press so far seems to of worked rather well, but time will tell. I hacve access to the AutoLogic set up if needed but it would be nice if somehow from home with no equipment this issue can be controlled as it will if it works enable others who read this post with the same issue to stand a fighting chance of sorting their cars out in the future.
