Matt, if its only on for the rest of the month couldnt the old panel have lasted? I suppose as long as your car isnt of the MY?? that suffers badly with MAF failures it will do you. Not sure I would trust the quality of a Halfords £25 complete kit, well not on my Scoob anyway...

Hmmmm, I'd say best of luck. But if you're stuck in a position like this, what to do??

I can't see how a filter would affect your MOT. Why are you thinking it would? Whats wrong with the current one?

Sorry Thought you meant you needed one for an MOT.
I'm sure the halfords one will be OK, assuming you are not running serious power, 300bhp+.
