Here is a good site for instructions....

Oh and when you reset the ECU, make sure your windows are popped out...

think yourselfs lucky i sent mine in for service now need a new engine or spend over a grand fixin the one thats in. dont see the point tho as its 84k on it and can buy an 04 with 27 k for 350 and about same to put in so thats my story.

Sounds like the MAF, mine is in as I write for a replacement. Anyone else with a 99 finding this year expensive for their V5.

I've had my 99 V5 for a month now and already had to replace the wiper blades, then the wiper motor! I've also got a water leak to fix too. Then i need a new aircon clutch fitting as mine is missing, and a new front foglight too as the lense is broken
