I need to get a fault code reader badly. Any that you'd reccomend?

Aye, just get a cheap scanner off eBay.  Scan the ECU for codes then get your wallet out if anything related to the MAF comes up.  Code 16486 is a classic there!

I was in VW t'other day and a new MAF was £80 ish, including a trade in on the old unit.  Gulp!
