Yep. It'll be interesting to see what happens if Mark replicates the circumstances of the event.

Ok guys, I have replicated the event on several occasions with zero issues!
Car is now settled on Momentum and I have downgraded to MHD2 from 2+
My money is on loss of traction on accelaration.

FYI plugs and coils (bosch) are all new 1200 mies ago

Thanks for all the replies, always welcome :D :thumbsup:
