| I've been out and cleaned my MAP sensor today. It wasn't particularly dirty and my car has 33k miles on the clock. It's a dead simple job, 5-10 minutes, unless you drop the screw whilst replacing it ... |

Spraying lots of the brake cleaner stuff seemed to be enough. The stuff that came out as I was spraying was a bit dirty. I held it over an old white plastic tray to collect the run-off.
I'd just be ... |

| No, not yet. I was a bit short on time as I had to go out for a couple of hours. I'll have a look at that tomorrow, though & report back. |

My next car is probably going to be silver or ... |
