will have a look tomorrow but think it only has one outlet

In that case it could be underrated. But it doesn't sound like that is the main problem.

Next time it does it, see if you can get stopped somewhere safe and pop the bonnet - the vapouriser should be hot to the touch, uncomfortably so. That's a simple test. I think you will need to get your lead and laptop out ;)

Does it give any warning bleeps when switching back?

the vapouriser will burn if you touch it and I get no warning beeps only had one set of beeps once and that was three beeps. I will take the car for a long run on gas and then get on the bypass and get some speed up and pull into the first layby and check the vapouriser again thanks for the help :y

It's worth plugging in and checking for codes and live data :y

Worth checking the temperature of the tank while doing this too. If it's getting very cold, likely the dip tube has fallen off, or some muppet has installed the tank upside down, and the liquid is boiling off in the tank instead of the vapouriser. You'll get exactly these symptoms.
