    Just to add to this, the dirty sensor in mine was affecting the gear change in the auto box. Wouldnt change into 4th gear till it hit 80 klm/h, so was reving at 2000rpm at 60 klm/h, instead of about 1500rpm.
    Also the car seemed to be surging when going uphill at speed.
    I gave the sensor a good going over with the air compressor and everything seems to be working ok,..... at the moment anyway.

    Just...it is interesting that these things go...cause they are straight German and nothing to do with Rover (). I see on Merc and BMW sites that they have the same dramas...same part in some instances.

    It makes me wonder whether for term ownership whether a Haltech for eg with a MAP and air temp sensor would be worth the outlay (and there is the programmability factor too there)

    Cheers

    The thing is, if its dead, replace it and check its working and then you have peace of mind its all as it should be imo.

    The MAF does also "controls" the EGR system, but mine is removed completely, so its not doing anything there anyway.
    But a faulty MAF on a TD5 makes the Auto box turn to slush!
