did this sell?

I didn't even check locally as Nissan here (tassie) are useless. You can get generic chinese ones for about $12 but I didn't want to take a chance on those so bought genuine.

I got genuine from the US for about $100. Changing it isn't difficult as long as you know how the clips undo!

I need to do mine as well. They are at the BACK of the engine and not the blue plugs at the front (I'm an idiot!!! LOL)

I'm pretty sure Craig (Jetwreck) had a couple of spare ecu's.

Thanks Scotty I will get under it tonight and check it out.

Woudl it be intermittent like that though? Drove the car yesterday no problems and again this morning and drove as usual. Are the sensors easy to replace? Cost?

Driving home late on saturday night I pulled out onto a road after going up a decent hill and the car stalled. I started the car and it stalled again but it started easily both times. The second time it stalled I started it and just drove the rest of the way home with no further issue. Full tank of fuel. My car has nbever stumbled or stalled EVER since I've had it. Yesterday I tried unsuccessfully to get the fault codes but after 5 or 6 goes I couldn't get the CEL to flash. I am confident I was doing it correctly as I had the instructions next to me. Was this just an anomaly or is this symptomatic of the MAF starting to die? Car has 90k's which I firmly believe are genuine and has never had an MAF in it since I've had it. Opinions?

Fair enough I think mine are ok but not as powerful as I'd hoped but as you say I don't use mine much. I'm in no hurry to replace them and thought I'd ask as I hadn't heard that the lose brightness over time previously. What are new bulbs worth anyway?

Do HID bulbs need replacing after a periosd of time? I saw on another unrelated forum a discussion about replacing HID bulbs after a few years as they begin to lose their brightness, does this sound right? Mine are fine (I think) but they are 10 years old and I will replace them if they are a consumable item. The discussion was around BMW HID bulbs in cars built around the same time as m35.

Why was the cracking noticed only on inspection or did it feel or sound funny when you were driving it?

Maybe the attessa system trying to engage all whell drive? Is that possible Scotty?

Click the link that Dale provided, the Subaru one is the same. $99.

Is the wire accessable at the brake pedal?

Yes you're right they're not even remotely close to being in the guards. Looks tough but would be cop bait??
