this problem has just started and it happens when the car is cold and at running temp ive ordered new inlet gaskets as they are only pence so im going to change them first

Common for the boot between the maf and the inlet to crack, worth a check.

You haven't just changed the plugs or anything have you? ICV is always worth a check too.

i serviced it in january with genuine parts because they were cheaper than pattern parts. where is the icv hidden on these and can you take them apart to clean them out?
