ah lol, I disconnected the earth cable that connected up to the throttle body, that's why it wasn't starting. What a cooicidence how it showed up my MAF as faulty though? Right.... test run tonight guys!!! Cross your fingers!

(I can't while driving, its hard enough to grip a wooden steering wheel with any kind of moisture in the air)

And thanks for all that gazza, that's really interesting. I can definitely look back at that and get some really good holes to scope out any future problems. I too went for a generic Lambda sensor, but mine has barely done 100 miles, so I expect it to be ok unless faulty from the beginning. That AlfaDiag also seems like a little shining beacon of happiness for you lol as it really is quite flexible in its uses to scope and solve problems.
