First just try unplugging the MAF and seeing if running the car with it unplugged resolves the problem. If it does then you have a faulty MAF and need to replace it. A faulty MAF won't necessarily show up on a diagnostics check. You will find the MAF between the air box and the throttle body housing on the right hand side of the engine bay at the back. The electrical connection plug you need to remove is on the top of it... To clean the throttle body housing, remove the pipe with the MAF in it (2 jubilee clips, one either end) then either try and clean the housing with it still attached to the car or unbolt it (4 ribe-headed bolts) and clean it off the car. You will also need to unclip the throttle cable and unplug the stepper motor (the black thing on the side)... If neither of these things work then you might have a faulty throttle stepper motor. Replacing this is a specialist job as it needs to be correctly calibrated after fitting. Other people on this forum have quoted prices between £100-200 for the part, fitting and calibration. For a cam belt change you are looking at around £200-£300. The diesel sound on startup is a knackered variator (it's on the end of the inlet camshaft). It's better to get one of these fitted at the same time as the belts are changed to avoid paying additional labour charges for having the belts removed and refitted again at a later time. Add around £100 on top of the belt change for a new variator. Exhausts can be fitted by any garage.

it is located on the drivers side underneath the van. you have to remove it from the underside of the car. you will need a 17 millimeter socket or wrench. Remove the ground cable before attempting to remove the starter.

There is a spring on the pedal up under the dash, if this has come undone then the pedal may not be able to come back up to the normal position. The spring connects directly to the pedal and to a bracket under the dash.

Hi,
To start with you have to do this:
With the engine cold, start the car and say after 30 to 40 secs. open the radiator cap.
Carefully and slowly, cause if the problem is either in the cylinder block or cylinder head this shows immediately as water would be compressed in the radiator ( even though the motor is still cold ).
If nothing happens and you would not notice any bubbles in the radiator, then we have to talk again.
