I went to the garage adn asked if it was MAF censor as I figured my missus had misheard the guy, yet in the mechanics he also said MAP censor. gargh. Would a MAF censor be an easy fix / clean or should I get it down to Fords?

very basic. set alarm, someone smashed the window, climed in and ut of it whilst ripping out my stereo. silence. :'( then i opened the door and it all kicked off. Very basic indeed :D

hey guys, Im on the look out for a decent mechanic in Bromley, beckenham or SE london area. Doesnt need to be dirt cheap, just reliable, honest and know what hes doing with a puma. Anyone have any ideas round here? My mates are as useless as me and just stick their motors in anywhere

Cheers dude, I might try and sort these myself then :)

Im not sure yet mate, it will be South london though. Bromley area
