I would change cam sensor anyway - its fooked.  Tends to cause poor starting, and gearbox limp, sometimes a low rev limit.

The trim and o2 codes - what is the live data reading for the BLM long and short term trims, and live data on the o2 sensors (pre cat should cycle between rich/lean about once a sec, post cat stay lean)

Can't get these unless Mr P returns for another "reading"... :(

Post & responses before i even got home!

As Entwood says the 0340 code is new this time since he cleared them last week. Strange thing is the gearbox has been right as rain this week. In fact I haven't noticed any problems since the codes were cleared last week so was a bit suprised to see any new codes.

Should I be thinking of chaging the cam sensor or wait and see?

Try hot starting it a few times.....ie give it 10-15mins after turning a hot engine off....then start it......i suspect you will get g/b issues back.
Which will through up a P0340, and is cam sensor causing it. Change it. And can be done without removing any belts, as iirc TIS says you have to do.
Not on TC tho and about £50 from vx dealer.
BTW when you get g/b issue of it trying to pull away in 3rd gear, use the selector to override it and select 1st/2nd manually  :y

might be worth cleaning the sensor first, one i did was covered in iron filings from somewhere, its magnetic obviously.

Watch the EML carefully, if it appears to go out at the same time as (say) the oil light then there is a good chance that an Arthur Daly character has cut a track on the dash circuit board and linked the eml to one of the other lights rather than fix the real problem.

Had this done to my '98 2.5 by a previous owner. ECU light shoud have been on due to a fault that was a pig to fix, but they cut the track and wired it to the ignition light! Cheeky wotsits. I put a picture of it up at the time ..... Took me blooming ages to sort

Had a look at the light today and it seems to go out in sequence ie. not with another light.

Took the cam sensor out to clean it thanks to the guide. It was pretty clean so I don't think that was the problem.  My local dealer was closed by the time I got to it so couldn't get a new one. I'll see how it runs and get one next week.
