Change the trans fluid, and see if it gets any better.

Very true, and a transmission low on fluid exhibits these exact symptoms.

Cheers lads will change it later today. Would I be right in saying the gearbox holds 1.9 ltrs of oil?

yea make sure that your clutch fluid is full, i have a 2.2 vtec also and the same exact thing happened to me, when i checked it was completely dry. when i filled it back up after like a day or two it went right back to normal.
