It will depend what it actually is - I am only guessing here - MAF and Throttle body are quick swaps if your local place has them available. There are other things it could be so until you get the diagnostics I cant really say.

What I can say is that whilst a new MAF will be around £100, a new throttle body (if that is what your local place suggests) will be close on £1k so I wouldnt leave them a blank cheque until you find out what the problem really is. If it is the throttle body we should be able to help at a fraction of that cost.
