"pre post heating relay short circuit"

This could be a faulty glow plug. This may affect the tickover while the engine is cold..just guessing here :lol:

"P2120 inlet air heater circuit electrovalve short circuited to earth or open circuit"

This one sounds like a fault with one of the electrovalves which control the air inlet flaps in the ducting just before the inlet manifold.

Check the plug connections on these valves to see if one is loose.

These can be found in the air inlet ducting. There are two vacuum operated flaps, one is air inlet from the intercooler. The other is air inlet which bypasses the intercooler. This second path is used when the FAP is regenerated to heat up the inlet air.
Cheers, Kev
