Well, still playing up and it has me pulling my hair out. Has anybody got a known good Hitachi MAF I can buy or borrow to check mine by substitution? :nenau

No idea. Could well be the original MAF for all I know, with 14 yrs worth of grime on it. I understand cleaning the MAF is a common tactic when they are acting up? :nenau

Latest state of play is that misfire now only appears under heavy acceleration. Cleaned MAF again today as well as the wire mesh filter which was black too, have now used best part of a spray can of carb cleaner lol. Hopefully the Redex will finish the job as it goes through the system. No...

Or how big a one he looks :naughty

Went out to girlfriend's today and had a bad misfire under heavy acceleration over 2,500 rpm. Gave the thing a real bottle of Redex as the previous bottle given was actually STP which it seemed wasn't doing it. Looks to have been an immediate improvement so hope it's sorted at last :rolleyes:

LOL No mate, £40 OEM part from Milners instead of c£180 from Halfrauds :thumb2

See, I knew we kept Briggie around for a reason :lol Says it all mate, best wishes to you and yours. Sorry I couldn't help with the Xmas tree though :naughty

Melting here in Essex. As long as Arbtruck stays fixed, there is going to be a bit of felling done on Monday :thumb2

Snow melting in the garden the other side of the estuary to you too, Rick :thumb2

Mine was same when I got it. Changed stat for summer one and now goes up to 1/4 way up, got a winter stat to put in plus a new water pump/viscous fan to get it really toasty, i hope. Out of interest, should the fan be running all the time as my and my friends' opinions differ?

ROFL Sorry mate, felling hardwoods at the moment, not pines :naughty

We just use a pulling rope on the towbar to help us take over things leaning in the wrong direction. I will have to post a video on here for you all one day :D

Cheers mate. I need it next week to help pull some trees over, weather permitting :lol

Spoke too soon so congratulations are premature :doh Engine misfired again on next run, illuminating MIL again. This time, I have cleaned the MAF which was black and is now nice and shiney, and put a bottle of Redex into the tank. Initially, this made little difference but, on the run home from...

Cheers Dave. Tree work has been plentiful (fingers xed) so have been caning it while it is there. Doesn't leave a lot of time for everything else though :rolleyes:

Personally speaking, anyone who makes dangerous road conditions more dangerous through sheer laziness is making my life a misery

AFAIK-as far as I know

You know how to spoil yourself, don't you? :lol:lol:lol

LOL Good idea, mate. Will pop down to Euro in the morning as snowed off work again tomorrow :rolleyes:

Thanks Zippy 656, filter got changed today and was found to have a large blob of jelly-like crap in it, most likely detritus from running bio during the summer. Got the truck back running fine with the MIL still lit but it cleared after a bloody good rev up :thumb2
