Pleased to report that the cleaning operation on my dirty MAF seems to be working well. No further codes and the car starts beautifully. I had my father in the car with me when a traffic light challenger rolled up next to me, and stopped the usual half a yard in front of other cars... whilst edging forward anticipating the change from red to green. Half throttle was used to get the old barge up to speed and my challenger retreated swiftly, followed by my father saying 'Crikey!'.

I think the change in performance could be partly of a psychological nature but there's definitely a marked difference in terms of responsiveness and the gearbox seems smoother too. Very happy chappy with my cheap and quick fix, which took 10-15 minutes.
