Folks,
Finally back from the joys and quirks of paternity leave (latter are wifey-sponsored...) The GS is still with the dealer, but seems things have been sorted.

In the end, as some of you guys have suggested, the ECU had a brain fart (Buzz dixit) and needed some deep reprogramming. To the point where dealer had to wait for new ECU software to be sent from factory. Whether this soft is a production version or something specific I dunno... the dealer mentioned no-one in the UK had it, as they told me it was an optimised version of some sort which loaded new engine parameters to the ECU, to the point their SD3 had also to be reprogrammed to read them.
The ECU was re-flashed with it and tested exhaustively, and now things seem to have been resolved. Sigh.
Hope to pick-up the car later on the week; will feedback over the week-end as to the ride (if it has become perceptibly better or not). Will speak with the head mechanic so that I can understand what's so specific about this ECU software version. Maybe Mark @ MoM has some information..?
Ah, by the way, here is the new addition to the family... Agustina Victoria

born on Sep 3. Hope she becomes a petrolhead as her eldest sister (...only 3 1/2 years old).
Later
