Well, went ans saw stu today - top bloke - and picked up new maf and lambda, cheers mate.
First put em on and idle was instantly settled at 750/800rpm, but went down the road and it was a little hesitant. Cleaned the afm and tried again and it was pulling like hell, smooth and hesitation free all through the revs.
Only thing now is a bit of black smoke occassionally and it smells a little 'sooty'! lol
any ideas? seems loads better though and fingers crossed that's it!
cheers stu

yeh, should be cool i think.
although without being pessimistic (which is probably inevitable now!) i'm gonna make a prediction that my cat's knackered as well! :lol:
Just went out in it again and fook me! Tis the first time it seems to have run properly, smoothly and pulled so well! :thumbs:
Absolutely flying now, 2nd and 3rd feel savage! lol. can't wait for MOT now, then bring on de-cat and cat back system!
I love my car! :lol:
cheers for the help lads

well done craig :thumb:
glad you got it sorted
did you tell your mum he might get a ticket in the post for her
cheers for the patrts mate, emissions test tomorrow so we'll see.
well i told her i saw a copper sat there, but said i might have got done at around 80, let's hope the ticket doesn't come through for her with the actual speed on! oops :lol:
nah, i think i'm ok
cheers mate, will update tomorrow with emissions results, although i'm still predictin my cat's knackered too - won't be easy
PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well it went in again today, but was tested at 4pm so car was stood around all day, not hot after being caned - wasn't sure that'd help me. BUT, sailed through, no advisories on anything else and emissions totally fine!
:thumbs::woohoo::woohoo::thumb::thumbs::shades: :shades: :nana::nana::appl::nana::respect:
HALLE-fookin-LUJAH
Also, made me giggle - the tester didn't seem too impressed after he'd said all that stuff about it being a mystery and something hard to find, i casually commented "oh, that's lucky - I just tried the first thing i thought of '! :lol: mwahahahaha
I'm gonna be anal now and ask about my emissions readings!
here they are:
Fast idle test:
CO - 0.006 (max-0.200)
HC - 171 (max 200)
Lambda - 1.021 (max 1.030)
CO seems very good, the others are a little high, is that anything I can clean up for next years test, or am i being a fanny just expecting things to be a problem!
Anyway, all sorted now, one niggle is rear engine mount is screwed but nowt major - bring on several lined up mods.
May do some celebratory photo-whoring soon as well
So cheers lads, coulda cost me loads without your wisdom (please excuse my childish excitement in this post, thanks)
