It's going in my local garage tomorrow afternoon. He's gonna do an emissions test and take it from there.
Ps. If my scanner has arrived today i'll scan it this evening and post up the results.

I gave it a scan today with my obdII code reader but no codes were found. Which is good. But now i'm wondering how accurate these £12 pieces of kit from Amazon really are...

So it went into the garage. They changed a Lambda Sensor, which fixed the fuel issue. And they also changed the Starter Motor to stop the engine whine on start-up. £355 inc vat.

Thats similar to what i'm getting on my short drives. I'm sure i'll get more once i do a long haul on the motorway. Also considering taking it in for a service soon which may help.
