Maybe worth buying a cheap ELM327 scanner off eBay and link to your phone to pull up a fault code and go from there.

No chance of a slight blow on the exhaust system as this can flag a code of air leak?

No need to buy an Op Com, you could check for fault codes using the "Pedal Test Method" Press both the Accelerator and Brake pedals down to the floor then turn ignition on until the lights come on but not as far as to start the engine..........then where your mileage shows up it should flash up an ECN number that is your fault code, if nothing appears then you either have no faults or the test hasn't worked, but it usually works on most cars.

I will check the forum to see if there is a list of fault codes (which is quite a long list) if I can't find a list then I will post the fault codes.
