Post crossed with your last, but...
Oakey, if your filter hasn't been changed in a while then start with the plus gas early on the flare nuts. I tried pretty much everything on mine - my flare spanners were too thick to be able to access the union , and then eventually I had to use an induction coil (depressurised rail, and fire extinguisher close at hand) and a dremel down the side of the nut on the filter housing (both sides), before the joint surrendered. Just don't go nuclear too early - once you've stripped the nut then you're toast. And it's an Imperial fit too, btw - or at least that will give you a much better fit. That said, I doubt that would be the issue - perhaps an injector has gone bad? I sent mine off and had them all cleaned for 80 quid IIRC
Re Noid lights, I suspect you can derive just as much information by disconnecting the injectors one by one and detecting a change in engine speed/ tone (or not), although I don't have any so may be talking b***s

The good thing is that the filter housing is the female connection, so you can be exquisitely careful with a dremel cutting disc and go for the threads since the filter's going straight in the bin. if you keep the speed low the cutting disc won't spark, but I did acquire a fire extinguisher especially for that particular job.

No chuffing or ticking noises like an exhaust gasket gone?
Any rattling from the cats? Could be the catalyst matrix is rattling about and under high load is pushed back restricting flow. Could try removing the cats and go for a quick drive and see if that fixes it.

maybe an analogue one? for ease of viewing?
