Thanks for the input StewartP. I took it to the dealers and the mechanic said he had a few in recently for the same problem. They had reported it to the factory as they suspect one of the automated machines on the production line was not working as expected. All tightened up there and then and a bit...

publication number OM17EN-OJ11E1EUR
Auto Brake Hold is 3-19 and
Easy Hill Start is 5-74

HAha!
