Dint change it with ignition on by any chance did yer? If so the code will want resetting

ahhhh my mate was there when i did it and he said what happens if you have no MAF so i started the car with it unhooked

im sure i switched the ignition back off but i cudnt say 100%

will the old "take the Battery off for 20mins" trick do it?

Yeah starting the car with it disconected wil deffo put a code up and the MIL light on. Dont know if dis-connecting the Battery will clear the code i`ve never personaly tried it. If it dont, and you have to take it to the garage, tell the truth about what you`ve done. It will save loads of the tec`s time and you`l probably get it done cheaper.
