    Maybe its not the MAF sensor after all, a short story.

    For those that have read and responded to my thread about the MAF sensor on my W220, thank you. Here is a slight update, for comments really... I drive my beloved long wheel base S320 every day into work, about 60 miles round trip and she normally never misses a beat, even though were coming...

    The Ongoing Loss of Revs and Kickdown Story

    My '03 ML Cdi has been playing up by not revving past 3000rpm and no kickdown etc (only intermittently).

    Never let the truth spoil a good story

    I was reading a newspaper article on another thread and it instantly reminded me of this: The front page exposure of the awful event beggars believe until you actually read what really happened. The headline infers that a Father Christmas character was assaulted in a Torquay store? The...
