:D I got a maf sensor from ebay, & when i fitted it i discovered a hole that had became worn into the EGR vacum pipe! what a f*****g daft tw*t, i am eh?

never mind, a new maf sensor and fixed pipe and it goes like the clappers!

ho hum! theres a sensor for sale if any one wants to buy it!

i had never removed the engine cover untill today so i never even new about the EGR & its vacuum pipes were hidden under other pipes, i realised what a mistake i have made! a lesson to all eh? :D

Keep it as a spare, you never know when you will need it! just like the engine mount I bought on the word of the mechanic who diagnosed that it had failed, turned out to be the bolt in the roll restrictor had sheared and not the

so it sits in a box in the garage, and it can stay there till it is needed ! :D

...until one day, when your clearing out the 'junk', you decide to throw it away, then a week later your engine mount breaks!!!

No chance of throwing it out, it's one of those things that stays through out the regular clear outs! there is a large box on the top shelf in the garage full of parts that dont get thrown out just added to :D ok so I may never get round to buying a cossie saphire but I will have the rear diff guard ready just in case I ever do :D

:D HA, HA! NICE ONE!

today i tried the old MAF sensor and guesse what? it was cattled!

so not only was the hole in vacum pipe, the maf was also done in! so double the loss of power. and now it goes like wind! 110 bhp my arse! feels like 130bhp!

it was never as fast as this when i first bought it!, its still going though! end of this year its a MISTUBISHI EVO 6 OR 7! never mind another 'cossie' for me. so hold the dif lock eh? :D
