    Zippity-dooo-daaa....

    Yay! A replaced MAF (original)... amazing how much better it drives... no coughing or spluttering either and seems more zippy (as 'zippy' as a landrover can be lol)... so next week will be the air filter.... fingers crossed this all improves the fuel efficiency (if such a word exists with V8's lol).... it's been short of thirsty to put it politely!

    So thanks for your help & advice...

    Given that I now know where the MAF is & saw how to take it off.... I have a question:

    Should cleaning the MAF w/ the CRC cleaner be part of a regular maintenance schedule? If so, how often do you think it should be cleaned/checked?

    (note - no river crossings here but occasional dusty roads)...

    Thanks,

    Lp

    Thanks Pedro,
    As for air filters... was going to pick one up from my mechanic. He recommended either Coopers or one called Mahls or something similar to that??

    Not sure if that helps... i'll find out when I get one next week :-D

    Cheers,
    Lp

    Theres a whole world of thinking ref cleaning.... Having had the expense of replacing a maff due to cleaning.... No i wouldnt ever do it again... As long as the air filter system from intake to maff is secure then it should be okay.... If u are worried make it a 5 year replacement item...
