When driving along, my car stuggles to go past 35000 revs in third fourth and fifth gear which is becoming a pain in the ass aslo when pulling away eg at a set of traffic lights it starts fine then the speed drops for a second or two then goes.
Is this my air flow meter or what ?
Its a 1.2 Sxi corsa b t reg.
Any help would be great guys.

mine had similar symptoms ie not wanting to pull away and struggling to go anywhere, was the cambelt that had slipped.
really doubt thats your problem though.

Sounds similar to when my AFM went.
But then again 3.5k in 5th was due to the EGR valve.

I'd say AFM, mine went and it wasn't that bad but it lost power above 3.8k due to running dangerously lean so I'd be wary of taking it past 3.5k till you get it sorted.
Auto-Vaux'll sort you a genuine one for about £100 iirc http://www.autovaux.com
