Citroen c5 2 hid estate 2002 - Lack of power going through 1st and 2nd - easypeasy

Hi folks. My car has done 160000 miles. Regularly serviced. The last week I've noticed struggling in first gear to get anywhere! Lack of power in general,but once in top gear it seems ok. Also at idle when first started in morning,the idle seems lumpy,not smooth. Sorry I couldn't be more technical! Cheers

First thing to check would be the MAF, its in the air intake hose between the filter and turbo. Try unplugging it, if the performance improves that will be the problem. A secondhand one from ebay should do the trick.
