As some of you know I've been having a few issues with my ute, in the last 18 months I've blown up a gearbox, had the exhaust system fall apart, replaced the water pump, smashed a tailgate, had lifter issues, dead starter motor, blocked injectors and now I've had to replace the oxygen sensors which were less than 50,000kms old and now (which brings me to the thread title) I need to replace the MAF sensor.
Apparently Ford don't make these for AU 5.0L anymore, so a reconditioned one with a 12 month warranty is gonna cost me around $800 fitted. A second hand one will cost $600 fitted, this comes with a 3 month part only warranty. Are these prices reasonable? which one should I go for? I tell ya, I've had just about enough of this goddamn car, it's been nothing but a lemon since I bought it. As soon as it's working properly (till the next up) it's getting sold. Wish I had my ED Futura still, never had any problems with that  :

I forgot about ebay, will have a check
I don't think you can do a MAFless tune on falcons, besides I'm balking at paying $600 let alone ~$1000 for a tune lol Don't have a Bursons in WA (I don't think so anyway), I've emailed FTG to see what they can do for me

Here's one on ebay, ends in about 4 days or thereabouts, so you can compare what FTG charge and what the eBay one is going for, closer to the end of the Auction. Oh by the way, It's a "performance" unit, so I guess it's out of the question huh?  _2: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/MAF-70MM-EB-E...QQcmdZViewItem |

Yeah I spotted that, much better than $600!!!
Don't think it's performance though, I'm pretty sure AU's have 70mm MAFs as standard
