    air/hissing noise under acceleration

    Hmm Hope this doesn't sound too expensive - had diesel injector seals replaced in February and jsut a while back had some intermittent power issues which seemed to point to MAS sensor, car went to low revs only mode after about 20 mins, then problem went away, replaced MAS anyway (£45) but...
