Does it feel like it's missing on either one or two cylinders?
Doesn't really feel like it's missing, it just lurches under heavy load. I'd wondered if it might have something to do with the Test, but it can't be, surely?
Interestingly, the low fuel light came on during the journey so I'm wondering if some crud got sucked up from the tank - plausible? I've brimmed the tank now and driven it hard but it's made no difference.
Guess I'll have to see if the local chap has time to look at it before the removals men arrive on Monday. I think I'm paying for his holiday home!

That is the air mass meter in the air intake, circled in red below. It can go bad when contaminated with dirt or oil. It can also be sabotaged by an unscrupulous garage, but it seems unlikely. It could also be that some incompetent has removed the lead and forgot to put it back for some reason.
Visually that thing looks fine - the cable is attached firmly. Is there a visual check of the thing itself required - do I have to take it out or something?r129sl said:

Mr R129 sl developed a misfire under load, was fine under part throttle no jerking as such, just stopped accelerating. A new bosch MAF from a german ebay vendor sorted it: http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/germancarsensors?_trksid...MAF?

They'll be a mechanic on here somewhere to say I'm wrong but don't they rev the st out of your car these days for the MOT when they do the emiisions? Maybe an old timing belt or tensioner has been pushed to the limit?
The faster half of the test is a max of 3k RPM, not enough to bother any engine, but enough to light the cat up.t out of your car these days for the MOT when they do the emiisions? Maybe an old timing belt or tensioner has been pushed to the limit?W00DY said:

White divides opinions, but I rather like it here. A red or green interior would be my preference though.
