Your quite right stew, i dont really drive much because i work in central london so when i do i tend to give it a good run in.

well I might have been wrong about it running better - went into limp mode this morning. Have to see if it has recorded any codes.

Check the MAF.
Disconnect it and drive it up the road (Not too far) and see if the car feels the same. You'll know if its the MAF because driving without it on is cringeworthy its so bad.

mafs ver very rarely cause limp mode, they usually slowly die.

Someone needs to tell mine then!

Now its gone into limp mode like mine did, I'm hedging more money on the boost sensor.

could well be, fueling maps are definitively affected by boost pressure,,,
