The figures it should be producing are given in this thread: http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=195871.

In your position, though, I'd be inclined to just buy the MAF sensor for £75 and if it doesn't solve your problem, sell it on here to someone, I'm sure someone would snap it up for a few quid under the going rate.
Even that test is still not conclusive - you have to be sure everything else is as it should be on the induction side, before the test - filter OK, no leaks from the pipes, no EGR leaks and clean. Then finally the MAF test.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
