Unplug the maf. You will get a light after a few drives but won't harm the car.

How did you come to the conclusion that the MAF has failed?

well i had a power loss then the  power loss went car became fine, then the engine management light come on. got a good friend who's a mechainc to look he plug it in did a few checks come back as MAF failed. its a strange one plus £100 down but hopefully sorts the problem. i just forgot to ask him if it would do any damage so hopefully it won't .

Or you could buy a maf from euro car parts and swap it yourself today.
