Hi shellysexbomb,
I've had the same problem but fixed it today, it was the input pipe to the filter.
The air box had been rubbing and chaffing it over 75000 miles, it created an absolutely minute hole.
I replaced the pipe and rerouted it, problem solved.

£100??????????????? What a rip off.
It cost me £1 for some clear braided PVC tube and about 30mins to do.
Now I've done it once I could fix the next one in 10mins, I also re-route the pipe to prevent it happening again.

Sadly not I'm afraid, I'm in sunny Suffolk.
Would a picture be any use to you?
All you need to do the job is a sharp knife and 1/2 meter of 8mm Braided tube.

I'll get one today and post it up then.
I have noticed the even the most minuscule amount of air will cause an engine shut down or failure to start.
When corrected it really is a pleasure to drive with confidence and a bit of welly now and again.
