£207 is very steep.... im assuming that vauxhall price.
Warren G on here usually has some and they are £40 - £50 I think.
What symptoms you getting and what engine you got? Is your engine management light on?
AFM symptoms can vary from hesitation when pulling off and poor running (chugging and loss of power).

And just FYI.... usually, when you unplug the lambda sensor..... the ECU ignores the readings from the AFM and lambda so the car should run a bit better but this should indicate whether its your AFM or not.
Unplug the connector located there (its quite big) ..... the engine management light will come on. Unplug it with the engine off...... start the car and take it for a 15/20 minute drive and it should even out.

C16XE's do not have air flow meters, you must have reference it against the wrong set of codes.
