So a little update... Took it into a garage today,

Fault codes are still there; p0087 and 000135 I think it was. Fuel rail low pressure intermittent.

The guy said he had seen a similar issue to this before and it was basically a rubber fuel line breaking up internally and bits of it were going through the pump.
He is going to speak to nick to cross check and then I will take it back in and I assume part changing will occur until the problem has gone.

It's a know negative to re-mapping cars that a re-map will more than likely show up any weak components on your car but all you do is fix them and carry on. Yes it's the maps fault it's happened but it certainly didn't cause the problem.

Has the fuel filter been replaced yet?
Quick and easy and cheap thing to eliminate first.

No I haven't tried that yet... Is it an easy job that can be done at home?

The fuel filter is underneath so needs jacked up to do.
It's situated in front of the right rear wheel area, once jacked up its fairly easy to change.
I'm sure the fuel filters have a pressure regulator in them so only buy genuine.
