Well last night markdtm kindly fitted the new maf sensor i had bought and new air filter too.

We have done 3 joourneys in it so far, and the eml light hasnt come on.

Going over to my parents soon which is a 45 min drive.

If it survives that return trip then i can start to have confidence in the maf sensor doing the trick

Already i have noticed its far smoother than it was before.......?!!

Right.

5 days on now and still no eml light and car drives beautifully.....alot more power and my run to and from work is now averaging 26mpg not 23mpg as before the maf was replaced.

I paid £22.50 for the replacement MAF (sensor only) from Ebay seller "rafron" and it came quickly and works perfectly.

Thanks everyone for your help and advice, it is really appreciated and without which I would still be looking at my EML light every day...........
