Yep, your car is in limp mode, so try not to rag it.

My money is on the MAF sensor

my previous MY96 turbo - the actuator rod came off the 'penny flap' nxt to turbo - there fore no gasses were directed through turbo.
Refiited the actuator rod with circlip - recovered boost.
Mas speed was 85 mph. Cost £0.25

They are located at the base of teh stearing wheel, you really have tostick your head in a long way to find them, 2 small black connectors and two green ones, they will be taped up if not used before.

there is loads of tape because my alarm has just had a tidy up from motorguard .I will keep trying i found one of each so far.I took it to motor-tec in merry hill for a quick look over.like you said its limpin for a reason they reckon its the MAF.and the ecu is the cube type thing up there yea?

DANNYBOY007=found them used the link in #5and#6-sounds like code 23-MAF.i thought i had to plug them into something else for some reason.quite simple when you use a torch.I hope that changing the MAF is enough or do u think the air filter is confusing it?ive heard they do but judging by the dirt on it when i cleaned it they have been together a while so why now?
