well I have done a little more research..
I have ordered a new Accelerator Pedal (with built in sensor P/N 04891586AB) for £29.99 off ebay dealers wanted £90 so a good deal
I have also purchased a MAP sensor (P/N 038906051C) as both of these things were giving incorrect readings
hopefully these will fix my problem, if not im going to have to take the MAF out and give it a clean :P
This is on top of changing my discs, pads, painting calipers, fuel filter, oil change, power steering fluid change.....
im going to be very busy :P
i listed the part numbers incase anyone in euro land is needing the same parts

im very late replying to you but I have the solution to this fault.
This happened with my 2.0 diesel and you code was permanent and couldnt be cleared even with the Bosch hand held.
What you need to do is this:
Unplug the MAF Sensor (its the one behind the air filter box on the right hand side of the engine)
Now magically there will be no limp mode, drive the car for 10-15 minutes at 60 MPH
Now turn off the engine and turn back on to the ACC position, plug in your magical fault code reader, the code will now clear
Plug back in the MAF sensor
Now you will be out of limp mode and the fault will be gone.
Too late for the OP but might help some others who find this through google

how much clearance have you got between the tyre and the suspension strut? I have 17" 235 65 17s on my Journey and there is only a finger width between the tyre and suspension strut so not sure how much bigger I can go (definitely not more than 65)

damn and im in the UK lol
Will these same parts go on my 2010 2.0 CRD SXT ? (I have stock 17" wheels)

hey i only have the 2.0 crd diesel version :P just going off memory from when I used to own a petrol car many moons ago... :P coming to think of it I havnt owned a petrol car in over 15 years.. :P but then it is like $9 a gallon over here...
