Must be nice not having to visit the pumps so often!

You got a cracking looking car there Dan, the MK2 looks lovely in ignition blue plus with climate control and the 180 kit you got a great car.

Dan hope you enjoying the car and its not too slow for you, with you being used to the 2.5l lumps in the past.

you can get a MAF fro and Alfa or a astra now as they actually use the same part.. all you need to do is to change the housing and fit the maf into the rover one.... if you get more go below 2k then your maf is dead.. if you get a limit at 4000k that is normal too.. only the MK2 will put the light on for an unplugged maf and it will clear after 50 turns of the key...

glad you like the derv.. you will get used to the lazy torque and laugh all the way to the pumps - as you drive past them

Got a new maf yesterday - Pierburg replacement - just need a 5 star security torx tool to remove it.

Still not convinced about it really - but I've been in a 3.0l V6 for the last few months so might just need to get used to it. Looking forward to a drive in Pete's to compare. RR ASAP.

It''ll take time Dan, dropping down from a 3.0 V6 is a big ask to expect no differences. My TD5 Discovery isn't exactly quick but it does a job and was bought for a purpose. Once you get used to it and see how much you are paying for fuel then you'll soon adjust to the idea.

I never expected it to be quick pal ..... but in all honesty, my Focus was a Ferrari in comparison.

I'll get to the bottom of it and all will be well. Like I've said - I have a new Pierburg MAF to put in there and by all accounts this will change things significantly.
