Could you tell me who the VW/Audi garage are as if they provide good service I would like to have them look at my Leon Cupra.

Sure, it was Keiths VW of Aylesbury.

As I said I was having no luck with Perrys of Aylesbury (local SEAT dealer) and Keiths sorted it straight away and the price is what I expected from SEAT.

Good luck

where during idle only in cold mornings on occasions the car will stall

You just can't drive

It's very hard to stall an e46 unless your foot slips off the clutch or something! pickup is very smooth and all pedals lightly weighted

Very true actually.

Easy way to see if your MAF sensor isnt working, just unplug it and if your car was lumpy in idle then the MAF is failing, also try this if it has flat spots, i know this works with all BMW's but not sure on other cars as they may not have a factory setting if the MAF is unplugged.

I used a can of isopropyl alcohol spray from the hight street electrical component retailer. (I guess they are classed as a competitor)

Hmm wonder if mine needs replacing as it seems to have a bit of a flat spot of late, I have changed it in the past but that was probably 3 years ago.

on my rover 75 diesel(BMW engine)
i have a tuning box with a MAF compensator(it boosts the signal from out of spec MAF`s) it makes a hell of a difference
