Have you seen K&N's rebuttal of this 'urban myth' regarding the oil from their filter's destroying MAF sensors on Youtube? They seem to have gone to a lot of trouble to 'debunk' the issue ...... Either way, I'm asking for a refund on the K&N filter as it still has not been delivered....so...

I've actually bought a K&N filter, but it hasn't been delivered - so the standard filter is still on the car.

Well, I've had the MAF sensor replaced with a genuine LR item, and the car has been in regular use for over a week now - So I'm thinking Happy Days ! However ..... I come to drive to work this morning - and it starts to misfire again ! it hasn't even coughed since the MAF was replaced ...

Thanks for the info , Wammers & Davie B I'm going to look at this over the weekend so I'll report back what I find :)

Well the car got as far as Northallerton (from Durham) this morning and started to misfire terribly - so bad that I had to pull over and stop for a while because I thought I was going to do serious damage to the exhaust / cats. I limped back to Durham on petrol with the car still misfiring...

As it was bloody freezing last weekend - I didn't tackle this job. But thanks for this feedback Davie - If the weather holds I will have a go this Sunday ( as long as the car is back from the 'fixers' and is no longer misfiring :mad:) Can you tell me where the connector in the foot well is...

My drivers side door - speaker and tweeter has been off dor some time now. If the weather holds I'm going to tackle it this weekend. ;) Before I take the door card off are there any common faults that would take a whole door out from a stereo point of view ? Thanks :)

I checked the HT lead connections this morning - they were mechanically ok. At lunch time , as I went back down the dual carrieage waye from work to fill up on LPG .....same thing happens - care starts to misfire as I pull up at the roundabout after 7 miles at a steady 65 mph. So I pulled...

I'll do that at the weekend in daylight - thanks

My car had a little bit of a fit last night..... I've recently changed spark plugs (NGK items were fitted) new HT leads (magnecor) changed air filter and also cleaned the MAF Sesnor. I've then had the adaptive values reset. Everything has been fine until last night on my 9 mile trip home...

Russell Offroad | Custom Car Mods Durham | Vehicle Fabrication Based in Langley Park just outside of Durham. He looks after my P38 - he's a great guy and is very reasonable. He has the Faultmate MSV2 extreme package so should be able to sort you out.

Ok - so I've had the adaptive values reset - and it's just about back to normal :) However when the car was connected to faultmate my local indie specialist did say that the MAF sensor was throwing out some odd values after the reset. It was cold today - but the MAF sensor was showing -3degC...

I've also read that I need to have the adaptive values reset after cleaning the MAF sensor ?

So last weekend when we had all the rain and downpour .....my car lost all it's grunt and power ...... I filled up on LPG and only got 100 miles out of £45 ... The car began to run 'lumpy' - and even cut out a few times going around corners - and even going through a very shallow puddle at low...

Thanks for that. :)
