Disconect the MAF and see if it gets better. If it does, clean the inside of the MAF with carb cleaner and reconect. Then let it dry out and go for a spin.

any more news on this???

is your clutch badly worn. if it is then u will find you can be at 50 in 5th or similar, put your foot down a bit an the engine just revs an speed doesnt increase.

is about 300 quid to put right an go on nationwide autocentres website an you can get online deals. print off the voucher, book ur car in, take the voucher along an then u get it cheaper
