High emissions on low idle and keeps cutting out when braking at roundabouts and traffic lights. New catalytic converter fitted last year and fairly new lambada sensor.

It sounds like the engine is misfiring which will cause the issues you have described. We should start by running the codes and go from there. Here is a guide:

Please run down this guide and report back.
