So people I have an answer . After a lot of reading it turns out that apparently the chip that controls the accelerometer is also the chip controlling the signals from the touch screen . So I gave the touch screen connector a !@#$ good clean with alcohol and hey presto it has ceased to be an issue.

It is an odd one . My next port of call willbe to remove his logic board and place it in to my phone in the unlikely event there is a short in the accelerometer :/ I'm hoping the issue doesn't continue
