My mates v1 (1/200 in the other thread) he had a bit of missing, but sometimes his CEL would come on... He ended up having to replace the head gaskets... also his MAF doesnt appear to be in the best condition, and he says he doesnt have enough money to replace it... oh well, its his car's funeral...
So yeah, give the MAF a look.

My mate was getting steam/smoke coming out from under the bonnet when he gave it some beans..... so you might be lucky enough not to have HG failure....
But definitely get the MAF checked out
