Drive was good, very powerful, until... I reached a hill and tried to overtake a car, splutter and engine lights on and slowing of speed, and again on m25 a steep hill and terrano said up yours!!

perhaps try again with your MAF and check for differences, in the meantime see what your people can get a MAF for, for your year the price varies from 55 to 255, ouch, we did not do it but compare the numbers tween your MAF and mine, Rick

Okie dokie, good thing is, more than likely I can get a new one tomorrow, and pay on next payday if I want

If it's cheap even a years worth is ok

Oh we should mention, rick replaced those stupid nissan safety toes screw things for normal screws, means anyone can take the maf out

possible opening there Alex, although a bit of investment may be needed, van, method of heating water, bad weather awning for cover, power for a polisher etc, worth a thought, nice thought to have your pride and joy fully valeted in the car park while you are at work, Rick

You want power but you are running high ratios of veg (which won't burn as well as diesel)

I'd suggest changing your fuel filter

I've got a spare maf here but it's broke

It was only changed a few months back, it seems to be a common misconception that the new veggie really does a number on the filters it's not true!

The last filter we did a few months back was the cleanest filter you'd ever seen!

I am also mixing 2 stroke and redex in aswell.

Because you need to keep the lead reasonably short, and the MAF is on the passenger side.
