Have a look on LMF or Autovaux.
I got an AFM for a 1.2 16v for around £90 delivered. And its a genuine Bosch part.
Hope that helps.

I'm wondering if mine is on the way out  Do they go suddenly or tend to play up a bit first? If they go suddenly then it's just me being a girl

play up, eml comes on, not going when you flaw it, very lumpy idle, popping exhaust when you rev it after start up, revs dropping as accelerator applied after start up, after a few mins all is well and eml light comes on only every once in a while for circa 3 secs when accelerating

Very easy to change, even I managed. Just get the directional arrow right.
Having said that, my EML never came on (yes it does work). All that kept happening was after idling for a while I'd put my foot down and nothing would happen.
Got a used but good part from Warren G and has been fine since. That was about 30k miles ago.

Last night I put my foot down in second after changing gear and it kangaroo'd a bit so I put the clutch in then re-engaged it and it was fine after. Thought it has been slower than normal under 3k rpm but that might just be me
