So did you replaced the crap eBay unit MAF? You said the original was working but not 100%.... What reading were you getting and did you take a input fuelling log and can you post this so we can have a look? (I did another post to show what readings you get)

Let us know what the mechanic said, can you give them a call to find out? might shine some light on what else we may be able to assist with??

I can't remember what djam1 said was the reading from my original MAF, he said it was not 100%, the suppler refunded my money and doesnt want the MAF back.. "input fueling log" I have no idea, djam1 was incontrol of his nanocom, I was watching as close as I could. Maybe he can answer that for you?

I rang the mechanic, he said disconnect the Glow Plug Relay, (it is not needed in this country anyway) took some searching to find it, but I think its R6 in the fuse box, I have removed it, will try it out tomorrow morning when it is cold..

Which year is the vehicle?, in the morning when its cold turn the ign on without starting and listen to the fuel pump, can you hear any cavitation sounds or is it an even thrum ?
You can rule out glow plugs

I replaced the fuel pump, I hear it for about 20 secs then it goes quiet, if i don't start the engine.

Your lack of drive is transmission related.
Was it happening prior to the oil and filter change?

Yes it was happening before, thats why the oil and filter were changed, what makes you think transmission?

My lack of drive in the mornings is more age related. can be sorted with a couple of coffees
Revird, does it feel like it is going into gear in the morning, if yes then you need to sort out that the maf and associated wiring is OK , if not then on an eu3 engine ( which yours is ) there will be a delay in throttle response every time you start it . if its only doing it when the car has been sitting for a while it can point more to injector washers etc, but we need to establish if it goes in to gear first

Have you done injector washers, wiring harness, oil in ecu?
