grantmax Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 So its been a while guys. The car is not for sale anymore (unless anyone wants to make me a very nice offer) Last Friday I took her down to AMD to have a look at the running problems as after endless searching I couldnt find a thing.after they had inspected it for 5 mins they told me it was the MAF ..... I said it was impossible as I ha already replaced it(the first thing I did replace) ... However, of course they were correct! so now she is running great! As well as this I have a new dump valve (just standard but working properly) anyway! ... a couple of flicks to keep you all happy ...
