I still think it's likely electrical gremlin. Some wire shifts when doing that downhill maneuver. I do hope you find it soon and it's simple.

Okays but hmmm its 30 min drive from where I can reproduce issue to mechanics location about 11km, and bearing in mind i'll be in limp mode this will take me even longer to get to him, and@Wpoll cheers, but if the codes are wiped wiped I guess i have to replicate conditions to create the fault, although research I have done says you may not get fault back but still have a delayed/pending reading and read only after being detected under multiple drive cycles or under specific driving conditions (quoting wot i found online)
