Could the reason for a lack of codes be because the garage are using a basic code reader and not a Tech2 ?

 :-?

Could well be, a lot of the cheapo's can't pick up the full range like the gearbox ECU for example.

is there anyone in Warrington or Chester who can read the fault codes with the correct equipment for me because if it points back to the TPS which was replaced I can inform the garage because they fitted the new part.

Thanks

Mine comes on occasionally. Stays on 3 or 4 miles then goes off again. No difference in the car at all in the way it drives. Only happens rarely too.
