Just a quick message to all who helped me with my minor problem.

280te misfiring, over-fueling, bad to start, would not idle.

Scrap it spring to mind...

Changed the bio-degradable engine loom.

Fault reader then said air mass meter.

Changed that.

Still running crap.

Cleaned the throttle body with WURTH brake cleaner and works a treat.

Not saying this will solve a problem for everyone but sometimes a bit of elbow grease goes a long way....

P.S. thank god the ECU is ok...
