Thanks for your honesty Nodge :) Ill look into a replacement. Cheers

After eventually tracking down the correct Torx drivers (5 point, not 6) i managed to to get the MAF out and give it a clean with some airbrush cleaner. Some muck did come off but it wasnt filthy. Popped it back in, but because the engine light didn't go out i thought i had done something wrong...

I was reading a bit more on the old MAF situation on here and dead spots were mentioned, and it reminded me that on my journey home when i was tootling along at 65/70 when i put my foot down a bit more, nothing happened. As if i was restricted from going any faster. Like a pit lane limiter set...

Not a problem. This is all fresh eggs to me, so ... There was definitely improved performance, not mind blowing, but it was there. Ill take it easy when cleaning. Thanks a lot for your advice.

Have managed to get the connector off. Just driven it home and it has seemed to have released a few more horses. Engine light was a bit disconcerting though and was half expecting the thing to just shut down on me. So i guess a cleaning is in order for the sensor. Will have to get my hands on...

Thats a very good idea. Did the same thing when i lost a locking wheel nut on a seat ibiza ! I noticed that about the synergy after doing some research. I was looking at the chip express product. Then thought id better have a look on here, see what you guys thought, and the synergy seemed to be...

Thanks ! You squeeze em ! (and the connector, haha) And as Grumpy said, swear a lot probably. Yes i did notice some funky star bolt things. They don't make it easy do they ! Thanks guys

I un-mismatched the tyres and the VCU kinda didnt vibrate/pulse at me that much anymore. Hasn't been a problem since !

Hi Was looking at getting a Synergy 2a box for my TD4 FLander, and while looking into it, it has led me on to the MAF Sensor and maybe that it needs cleaning and stuff. Maybe a new one is required. So removed the engine cover and located the sensor connector. Im a bit of a newbie, so my...

Message to the moderator. You can delete this thread, or leave it as an example. I basically cant trust my fuel gauge. Maybe jacking up the vehicle moved some fuel so I wasn't picking up, but ive put 9 liters of diesal in and she's working again. Sorry to waste time.

I did about 70 miles yesterday morning then went to drop something off at my parents. Then one of my parents neighbours noticed I had a flat tyre. OK, great. Changed over the NSRear tyre. Cool. Went to leave and it wouldn't start. It started but stopped after about 20 seconds. I tried a few...

Just got off the phone from the LR people. Apparently its blown a piston! And they've given me a ballpark figure of around £1000 to fix it!! To say i'm a little bit peeved is an understatement. Really annoyed at myself for being such a doofus. Anyone else had a piston replacement and did it...

Took it into a LR specialist this morning. They took the injectors off one by one but the knocking didnt stop. But on the No.1 injector it was quieter so they reckon the issue is deeper unfortunately. Maybe a seal, i dont know but they are going to diagnose tomorrow afternoon. Its sounding...

The oil turned up at wörk today so it now has the right amount in it, as it was way down on oil as it turns out. But I think the damage has been done. The tapping is coming from the left of the engine. I cant help but think that maybe something is fouling somewhere in that area, but I don't...

Thanks Mr Kent. Hopefully an oil change will solve that issue. Just worried about the tapping noise thats appeared. Sounds like a lawnmower at the moment!
