Posting this for reference if anyone ever gets similar.
Car sat in car park most of the day. Came back to it, started up, dash lights go out - except for EPC and a warning which says "Stop/Start system error" (or something along those lines). Within a minute or so the Emission Control warning light comes on accompanied by a very strong smell of petrol. Limped home, noticeable power loss.
I did try searching for similar symptoms but there seems to have been a variety of causes and not all had the accompanying smell of fuel.
Having got the car to a garage they said the fuel rail had come loose - no idea how, but it had.
Fixed under warranty. Seems ok now.
Very odd. Barely 3 years old, under 30K miles and nothing happened under the bonnet other than service, checking the oil level and topping up the washer bottle.
Coupled with this...
Just before Christmas, went in for service & MOT. Garage came back saying rear shocks leaking/misting - more than expected. Would replace under warranty.
Sadly, barely 3 years old and not at all heavy mileage. Kind of questions the parts & build quality. 2 strikes. One strike left.
