Why are you actually asking? What work are you after undertaking? 

because i want to change the Battery

have you checked that ?

Sorry to hear that...

Regarding Insurance - don't forget windscreen cover still counts as claim on your insurance, so it is worth doing some math to see if it is worth claiming it from insurance or just paying for it upfront. 

i wont effect your insurance if you have protected no claims

there actually on the left hand side of the Battery cover/casing . my mistake .

how do you seperate the 2 cables running up the right side of the Battery before i resort to cutting them and rejoining them lol. tia 🙂

i would,nt worry too much as long as there not reading above or below  +-10

All MAFS have scrawny pieces of wire gji. I hope you're not belittling Ford. One thing my Focus wipes the floor with the is250 is taking the headlight out. 2 screws and out it pops. No need to faff about undoing the bumper and removing part of the wheel well trim. Sheesh that was a job and a half. 

Not at all mr vlad. i have owned many a ford. my favourite was a 1600e mk2 cortina

Isn't it amazing how a scrawny piece of wire, basically that's what a MAF is made of, can affect a car.

is that what Ford use ?

Hi folks,

Said I'd make a post here regarding the IS250 MAF sensor. I've owned my 07 IS250 Sport since September last year. I've always found the gear changes quite juttery with lots of rev hang, poor throttle response pulling away, jerky at low speeds in traffic. Read lots of topics from the US mainly on the manual gearbox/drivetrain in these cars and attributed the cars characteristics to the design.

A few weeks ago I started getting intermittent faults for rich condition on both banks. Did some troubleshooting and seen fuel trims were sky high trying to lean the mix out. Given it was both banks showing rich, it was safe to say it was a calibration issue with the MAF sensor. I've had cars with faulty MAF sensors before but none had such an impact on the cars running after being replaced. Power delivery is much smoother, gear changes are no longer jerky and there's no juttering pulling away or at low speeds.

Hopefully this may be of some help to someone experiencing similar issues. I had the car on diagnostics before the MAF started giving issues and fuel trims were all perfect and no indicator a faulty sensor at all. I'd say if you're IS250 is decent age like mine with a few miles on it, its definitely worth replacing the MAF. I'd never have even thought about it only for it did eventually fault out.

Dan.

Had exactly the same effect when i changed my maf sensor and air filter for a new one. Car seems alot smoother when changing gear and no lag on the throttle.

why is it always the pain in the ( / ) drivers side that always goes and not the easier passenger side lol 😃 . unless you have hands the size of a five year old its  worth taking the time to remove the airbox and maf sensor to make it easier imo

if you have a mark levison system in your vechical then it will have a built in hard drive to store you mp3 files on

electric vechicals are just a fad. just like skateboards were in there time. they will just fade away

its not anything to do with the lock switch on the auto gear shift panel by any chance is it ?

its above the letter P next to the gear shift

I also prefer the way they look as it gives the rear wheels a slightly lower profile (since the '40' means that the sidewall height is 40% of the width, I believe)

40% of the width 245 = 147     the 40 means 40mm profile

I have kept mine as they are,however you shouldn't have any problems if you went down to 245.40.18 apart from your speedo reading slightly out if I am not wrong,you could probably go 235.35.18,not sure about cost though 

the speedo reading would only be out if you reduced the profile 40mm to 35mm

Get some Maguire's PlastX.. little elbow grease and then come out shiny.

plastx works well as mentioned. will last about 6months before needing to be done again. takes about 10-15 mins.

job done

i remember in the good old days of 2stroke motorbikes when the old bill try to catch me riding a kh500 kawasaki triple.  what a gas that was lol

i like this one

just remove the p-trap or s trap. most likely blocked there and dont forget to turn the water off 😁
