Loosened off the fuel cap, and went out for another test drive and I think everything is ok. Thanks for the pointers. I'll tighten up the fuel cap and take it out for another run another day to see whether it was cleaning the filter or loosening the fuel cap that has made the difference.

Despite getting up to 70MPH, I still couldn't see any movement of the wastegate actuator either when accelerating or decelerating. Under what circumstances should it move?

If you can let me know which one it was that has made the difference that would be awesome, I'm having a similar issue with mine just now and the garage are a little stumped!

Thanks,

Tightened up the fuel cap and west for another test drive tonight. Everything seemed fine so I'm guessing that the problem was the dirt in the filter under the banjo bolt.
