    Had this on mine - as dox recommends I stripped completely, greased and reassembled and it works a treat now - I hadn't used it in my 7 years of ownership until battery died and I found it was seized! If you need to lock it temporarily I think you might be able to disconnect the connecting rod that goes between the push button and the catch....

    Just a quick update - touch wood the issue has now gone away, seemed to be getting better and also gave the MAF a clean as suggested (well, Vince did as the car had to go into Stealth for an emergency clutch repair so two birds...), which would give weight to the oil from the filter just reducing the accuracy of the MAF....

    Following stalling issues earlier this year and replacing ISV, ISV damper and done an ECU learn, all seemed good (additionally MAF replaced 2 years ago), I now think that the blue temp sender is on the way out, as stalling at idle has started again!

     

    This only happens when the engine is cold, so having read up various threads on here guessing this is either the MAF or the Blue Temp sender. Tried disconnecting each one at the weekend - without the MAF couldn't keep the engine running even when applying throttle, whilst without the temp sender the engine would run but the idle speed dropped to ~550rpm from it's usual 650rpm.

     

    So question is do the Blue temp senders get less accurate with age? And hence best bet is to try replacing this first, additionally this is a lot less than MAF replacement!

     

    Only other thing is have recently swapped to a Jetex panel filter (just before the problem started so slightly suspicious) and read somewhere that these have some oil on them, which could contaminate the MAF? I'm nervous about thrying to clean the MAF element, as I don't want to do more damage than good as after a couple of minutes of running, all is fine!

     

    Any advice appreciated...

     

    Cheers

    Hi, beyond it being black I'm afraid I don't know the colour code, as bought it for a few specific parts rather than as a replacement so wasn't worried about the colour! Can do a close up photo of the paint if that helps? Or you could pop round to have a look if you're local?
