   lambda sensor, fuel pressure regulator, injectors, number of things it could be. the garage should have gone into more detail and told you whats wrong. just knowing the mix is out doesnt really help

   Thas what i thought that they should of told me more. So it would be worth me going back then, If it helps shed any light im also getting hesitation with it, almost as if its running out of fuel but its not?

   id go back to the garage and find out more, hesitation will be down to the fuelling problem

   They hopefully should be able to tell you what fault codes are showing, even if they dont know what they mean. Then armed with the codes you can find out the problem.
