I got an original Bosch part as follows from www.worldcarparts.co.uk although I had a quick look and they no longer seem to list them. It's the same part as fitted to an BMW M5 and several VW/Audis from what I can see. Took quite a while to find the right part number as that's critical as it's the Bosch number rather than a BMW/LR number and just refers to the sensor itself rather than the complete housing.
Might be worth giving them a call as they do continue to list several others in the BMW section for example so might still be able to order them in.

I might shout it some new leads. They seems to ba reasonably priced on eBay for genuine ones. I am not yet convinced it isn't vacuum related. I might spray some start ya bastard at the hoses and connectors while it is running and see if I can detect a rise in revs. The hose on the front left of the manifold (when looking at the motor) was loose where it bolts in to the manifold so I might go over the engine, do the plugs and leads and cross my fingers.
The rough idle was present prior to this missing under load started happening so I am not sure they are related. The rough idle is worse when the engine is warm.
If you suspect MAF you can disconnect it. The ECU will run a default program & if the MAF is faulty the engine will run fine.
After cross referencing I bought a MAF for a Mercedes, saved around 30% in cost & just swapped the MAF between the plastic casing.
