My local mf don't do the exchange ones - the ones they do are £80 ex vat, they also wanted a £25 surcharge off me as I'm not a trade customer. You can guess my response.

Took my MAF out of its housing and gave it a good spraying with contact cleaner and since putting it back together its behaved itself... :)

Andrew Page sell them but are in the North.
Maybe try and phone some other Bosch dealers or Bosch themselves to find out who sells the exchange ones.

and its got a warranty so if it works sorted if not it can go back :-)

I'm a bit confused after reading all of this thread. Our 1.8 P11-144 has been running lumpy, hesitant acceleration and a bouncing rev counter needle. Reading other threads I thought it was either the TPS or the MAF. We've adjusted the TPS which has made a big difference but still not 100%.

We've had the MIL come on once then go out the next trip. Not been on since. I hadn't bothered to check the code once the light went out as I assumed (wrongly?) that the code would be gone.

So, not sure if we have a MAF issue or not. And if we do, can I clean it or not? I have electrical contact cleaner ready to do it once I get the torx socket to get the blooin screws off! Some people have said to clean it, Stevie J says don't do it?

Stevie J wouldnt advise it, as its a film type MAF on the 144, which are easily damaged. I tried cleaning mine, but made no difference. I think these mafs suffer from internal faults in the circuitry eventually so its better just to replace them. 10 years or 100K they seem to go after.
The MAF is secured in its housing by anti tamper screws, so that you cant start spraying it or poking around with it, due to the fact that the sensor is fragile.

Timing chain replacement? thats gonna be eyewateringly expensive!
You need to hope you dont need a new chain, or it'll set you back several hundred quid!

tell me about it,
nissan quoted me £760 Dead
managed to get a timing chain set for a non varible timing motor (crank and cam gears(non varible timing gears), timing chain guides and tensioner), for £186 and did the work myself,
every thing was replaced except the varible timing gear,
had no probs ever since.
