Any experience of ERA parts?

    Hi, I've had ongoing problems with my car, basically very hard starting from cold, but if I disconnect the MAF sensor it starts fine. There is no error code for it though, and I measured the output and it's giving an voltage that varies with revs. I also cleaned it with MAF cleaner.

    I have a feeling it might be OK and that when disconnected the ECU is going on some default map that allows the engine to start, perhaps masking the real problem. But I've done loads of other tests and replaced other parts to no affect.

    So, I'm faced with changing the obvious part, the MAF in the hope it will fix it.

    I found an ERA brand one for €80 on Euro Car Parts (seen ERA on other sites too) so for that money I might take a punt on it.

    Has anyone used this brand before, or say if it will work? I don't mind if it only lasts 6 months or whatever, the car will be gone by then as it's an '02.
