Grasping at straws here, but maybe a >clogged cat/exhaust could cause odd spool up. The dealer thought that may have been a possibility early in their diagnosis but they changed their minds.

Perhaps I should take the car down to a "quick fit" exhaust centre to get them to remove the exhaust and check for blockages?
