Hi guys,
Sounds like a crappy TV show right? So here's my little tale.
I usually work in Central London, so don't get to drive my car as often as i'd like, on some occasions i work in our offices in Chiswick or Reading.
So last week i was working in Chiswick, i got quite excited, first thought was, i get to drive to work, woohoo..
Monday morning, get in the car, ready to grab the shades as it's been real hot of late and...and...Um, nothing, engine turns over, goes to start then dies,
had to get to work so i head off for the day, absolutley s@#$%ing my boxers. I spent the following evening trying and searching the internet for more options to no avail.
I had to meet friends on saturday and fairly fed up, i decided to book the car in on monday morning and have a play on sunday.
Whilst out on saturday night, the other half sends me a text to say that she has researched the problem it she thinks it is the MAF, no two points here, the MAF was on the list to check and she is just not a car person, just like Googling problems.
Anyway, sunday afternoon, pull the MAF plug, as she said, lol, guess what?? You know the rest..
New MAF being fitted today.... Not the cheapest things in the world either, once you find the suuitable one for your model but i'll be paying with a smile, as it has been a stressful week.
Regards
Vinny
