If you still have access to the reader, can you get Live Data with engine running and MAF plugged in, so I can see if that looks OK.

Okay, I'll Do that, My daughter is in hospital, I'll disconnect it when I get back.

I'm assuming a new/second hand  MAF sensor will sort me out properly though, yeah?

Thanks mate :D

I can probably get it tomorrow, but he's out of town for the rest of today.

Hmmm, looked again, I don't think its the MAF. Bank 2 looks strange.

It looks like the ECU think its lean, so has trimmed it as far as it can. But only on that bank.

Any exhaust leaks on that bank? Or inlet leaks (due to way intake swaps sides, it will be the other side)?

If none found, worth swapping sensors left to right, see if the fault moves with sensor, or stays put.

No leaks that I know of, at least it sounds just as it's always done.

Never got a chance to get hold of the Naff reader again, but I changed the MAF anyway, it appears to have been the culprit, purring like a kitten again now  :y

Thank's  dbug for the hint ;)

And thanks TB and everyone else for the help in trying to diagnose it.
