hi, done the pedal test and no codes soming up, although the RAC did record a code of CAS 2 weeks ago when it first played up. However, this week they failed to find a code despite the fact it failed to start and cut out 3 times whilst driving?

Yes, do the pedal trick as Welung suggests to confirm, code 19 being the usual crank sensor fault.
Yes linky.

If you are local to me, I have a spare cam & crank sensor for the 2.6.

Come on up, try them before you buy one from the dealers. (Sorry won't sell them as I like having the spares.) And I would only recommend an OEM one.
