Hi calum just a guess as i a own a connect. A friend of mine who is a mechanic like myself told me when i bought mine(which has only 15000 miles so hope it doesnt give any trouble just yet) that the only thing he found gives trouble on the connect is the camshaft sensor on top of the rocker cover, i think he told me they were under £20 its an easy diy job and worth a try if you cant find any other cause or maybe somebody else on the forums came across it and can advise you. Anyway its on top of the rocker with a plug attached to it
