yeh just get some 3x2 cls timber (which comes out at about 60x40 finished) and use 9.5 boards at 600 centres...
get yerself a 4 1/4 inch door liner and then bond both sides of the wall before you skim it... cos youll need too..
when youve built your stud wall have a go at hanging the door.. quick before the plaster dries...

yes caulk after skim thats what i meant to put 
.... so always use 12.5 board no insulation going in it as such small wall ...... don't want to skim the other wall unless i must therefore there will be no scrim used on the angle where the new stud wall meets the origional wall ..... don't really see how stop bead will help me??? unless i'm missing something??? surely if i stick a line of caulk there it will be ok???? will it??

9.5mm boards at 400mm centres and 12.5 at 600mm centres, what you gain with one you lose with the other. Dont take your board all the way to the ceiling, leave a 3mm gap for the skimming to push into and that should help to strengthen the joint, you can also put scrim up to the ceiling line but no real need mate.
