Took it up to Vx and had a quiet word with the Techie. Ran the Tech2 over it and fault code still PO100 - MAF sensor - but he did search for software updates and installed newer version 2.096 for me.
Turned off the engine and fired it up - oh shitt - it rumbled like it was missing a cylinder (and it's already 2 down) and the EML lit up - Zero throttle response.
Knocked it off and on again and we're in business - Throttle whizzing up and down like it should and idle consumption now constant at 0.2 (ususally 03/0.4) - Hoo bloody ray :y
MAF fault still present and lit up again on the way home, so I'm gonna fit a new MAF £40 on Ebay (genuine Vx & new) and he refused my bung for the second time - so actually it seems fair enough to me. He seems to know his Meega's and says they shoudn't but do fail often - I know this isn't always true but it's worth a go at this stage.
;D ;D ;D I knew I hadn't buggered it up myself ;D ;D ;D
What's next - Fuel Filter tomorrow and Wishbones next week :y

Good news :)
He may have not switch off ignition for long enough after flashing, hence missing as soon as he flashed it - ECU needs time to reset after flash, about 20s...

Excellent news! :y
Looks like you have a good dealer there for tech2 jobbies, most charge you £50 just to plug it in!
Bet its running nice now since you cleaned the throttle body's too :)

I drove it 3 miles to fill up with fuel and when I restarted it the EML lit up again. I turned it off and tried again and it's been good as gold since. Been 150 miles today with at least 8 restarts and apart from the MAF fault it's all ok now.
& yes Tunnie - nice and smooth now - not 100% imo, so fuel filter to fiddle with next and replace the MAF. If that doesn't do it I'll hand the keys over & pay :-[

Doubt my fuel filter has been done, although its running a hell of a lot better than it did before!!
