Hi Konrad, a quick search comes up with

Dirty or low engine oil

Valve timing

Oil control valve

VVT controller assy

or

ECM

Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system controls the intake valve timing to proper timing in response to driving condition. The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls Oil Control Valve (OCV) to make the intake valve timing properly, and, oil pressure controlled with OCV is supplied to the VVT controller, and then, VVT controller changes relative position between the camshaft and the crankshaft.

Oil is new and FUlly topped up, could low quality oil be a problem? (i dont know whats in it as i bought it like that)

Ive also had a look at the oil control valve previously and it seems ok, any signs that could tell me its bad?

How did you find the code?have you got the Toyota diagnostic tool?

when you looked at the control valve was the filter clean as a blocked filter will throw this code.
