For a few weeks my K11 X reg had very little power on a cold start and getting up to 30 was a struggle, but then it would sort itself out after a couple of mins. Yesterday it was a lot worse so I found it out it was probably the MAF. Took it off and there was no dirt on it or anything, got a...

No sooner is it sorted before there's something else wrong! I went to start it up from cold before and it sort of started and then stopped straight away. After that it wouldn't start at all without a bit of help from my right foot. I turned the engine off and started it when it had warmed up...

What exactly is idling? I mean, I know, but is the engine still idling if I am rolling forward at a very slow speed? I'm asking because when I'm at a complete standstill, the car idles poorly. However, if I am rolling forward, the engine sounds fine. The car is in neutral the whole time. Is...

Is there a way I can get a fault code for whatever is going wrong? There's no real noticeable problems while the car is running, apart from a quiet squealing when the engine is warming up. Could this be related? Also, is the car driveable while this light is on? I need it every day really but...

I've searched for answers to these questions but couldn't really find an answer to them. Firstly, I'm just wondering about the NATS. To my understanding, the security light blinks when the car is off completely, but when the battery is on or the engine is started, what is the light supposed to...
