Sorted, it was the MAF, it had corroded slightly and was stuck shut. Freed it up and it ran almost perfectly. Can now get on with the things I took it off the road to do. Thanks again for your help

Great news. I bet you're happy with having fixed that!

 That explains the rubber induction pipe being sucked in.
