Hi Johnnycool, found one on ebay but I'm sure if you search the various auction sites you will find one.........ps. Due to the time it took me to fix the faulty MAF it's now burnt the cat out(,)
what you mean burnt out the cat? how have you found that out?

The lamdas should be able to overcome any over/under fuelling, but its has to make assumptions on the air coming in.  Limp-home modes are just that, to get you home. Not for constant ongoing use, where further problems may be caused.

Cos the Maf was reading wrong it was running on weaker mixture than normal which overheats the cat, fault code says cat conv threshold not reached(basically cat efficiently) Still runs ok but light on
