Please remember to drive the car sensibly within the rev range appropriate to the driving conditions, no need to aim to keep revs at approx. 1500rps, you are not driving a racing car, but do please give the car a good run to get the engine really moving from time to time, once it is thoroughly warmed up, etc..
Thanks Grivas. Looks like I will have to bite the bullet and get a new MAF sensor. It may work out cheaper to get another 75 as mine also needs rear pads and discs. It has done 190000 miles so I don't really want to keep spending money on it.
