who did the code reads for £100?
think that was a mis-read

he charged a small fortune, the 100 was on the line underneath. he told me that the MAF was reading 20 instead of around 100, as to it what it was reading at 20 i couldn't tell you, I'm thinking degrees C maybe?
It was a genuine MAF I fitted and I cleaned out the ICV. It was a new one anyway fitted by the PO and hasn't covered any miles (due to the engine not running)
I'm getting pretty down about it all now, and to be honest the financial stress that my fuel bill is causing me having to use the landy every day is really starting to affect my health. Rock and a hard place situation though. can't afford to get something economical as a stopgap due to spending more than my wage in fuel to get to work, alternative is don't go to work but then i don't have any money coming in, so still buggered. Have an interview for a job in dundee, which is much closer and I can share a car with the other half so that will take the pressure off a little and i could then look at buying a new engine or something. just hope I get it!
As to the postie, I'm at work when he comes usually, but saw him do it on a saturday morning, but couldn't chase him down the street due to being in my pants haha. A strongly worded note will be on the windscreen come monday though!! I caught a cyclist sitting on the bonnet of the landy the other week. One of the problems of living in the middle of nowhere at the top of a very steep hill. everyone seems to choose the garden wall/cars/driveway to rest.
