Some great info there James.

To add to this I also have an Odyssey, this is wired up to an Optimate 6 - left on permanent trickle charge and never had an issue.

I was planning on changing to a C-Tek, however I may well reconsider now!

Thanks Gareth, I guess I'll opt for a new & genuine Bosch item, rather than a copy, unless anyone has good alternate experience

I hope it solves the problem Ian. It's an easy DIY job bonnet off and cowl to get to it.

Having replaced the maf a few years ago I was suspicious when the car started cutting out again. I was also getting an occasional clicking on the starter. After cleaning up the earths both problems have gone away. Also ran a dehumidifier over winter that seems to have helped

Battery now changed, & MAF cleaned, but time & poor weather conspired to stop me testing the car - will try next weekend & give you all an update.

I have the chance this afternoon to see if last weekend efforts (battery renewed & MAF cleaned) have paid off.

I had one click on starting & then she fired up cleanly, idled evenly & drove really well over the 20 mile run out - so as very big thank you to all of you for your assistance & advice on the forum over the past few weeks.

I hope to have a lovely summer with my Mog & I wish you the very same with yours
