If you suffered a sudden loss of performance, the MAF is likely to have become contaminated with dirt - it may be worth cleaning it in Isopropyl Alcohol (Maplins sell it in spray and tins). The spray version allows you to give it a good blast without any danger of damage. Cheaper than a new MAF and may do the trick - I give mine a 'wash' every 30k in any case.

I know it's been a while but thought I'd update this thread. I did as suggested by yp53. I had to wait a week for Maplins to get me a can. It did make a difference but still playing up so decided to get one from the recomended ebayer (thanks john dot com). On returning to the site I noticed that the MAFs had been relisted and reduced down to £99. So I bagged one and fitted it last Saturday. She's running sweet again.
I'm a happy bunny
