RESOLVED - it was the EVAP valve
Car ran faultless with the EVAP hose connection blanked with insulation tape. As soon as I removed the tape it was clear to hear it drawing air.
Changed EVAP fault cleared.
I can now understand that the original EVAP must have been changed at some point, however it was incorrectly fitted, not all the way home, therefore leaking around the o-ring area, and whilst the clip was there to hold it, it wasn’t correctly clipped in.
The replacement EVAP I had ordered mounted correctly, however it was passing air (ordered from AUTODOC )
Put the old valve back in and mounted correctly and it not drawing air, so all good. Reconnected hose. And she runs faultless once more
Hope this helps someone else
Thanks for the responses to my query too
