Any Ford dealer or www.fordpartsuk.com but i'm pretty sure they are £100 plus, grab a good second hand one

I got one for a 2.3 from Ebay,new pattern part for about £40.Scour the Scorpio parts,they are nearly always on there.If I come across the name I will let you know.Incidentally it did work.

hi there

for reference, the 2.9 24v MAF is different. it bolts on and is, i think, a bit larger.

That's right,the 2.3 one fits the Galaxy as well,so is obviously popular just now,but the Cossie is indeed a seperate animal,a pity that !

Unfortunately not,as scorpio man says the 2.9 is definitely bigger,because the Cossie needs bags of wind ! Does it have to be new ? there are a fair few used ones about,no doubt Highlander has a dedicated 24v MAF shelf ;D

yeah your right maybe that a second hand will do cheaper the better,cos im still trying to cure this o/d flashing light problem,ive done the auto box fluid flush and filter change but light still comes on

New MAF for 24v is very expensive circ £175 as they only fit that vehicle, have a couple of sh ones if you are interested.

oh when the o/d light flashes i just pull over and switch of the engine and start again then off we go every thing ok

Seeing as the O/D light is illuminated by the PCM because it detects an error, could it be that the PCM is causing the car to go sluggish because it has received an error code from the fully electronic autobox ?

It's all here.......http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/odlight.htm

Or it could actually be a fault in the PCM :-/.......I seem to remember reading that Ford do have there fair share of problematic engine management modules & the Scorpio PCMs were no exception :)

well chaps today i unplugged the maf and drove my the usual way to work and the o/d light did not flash at all,gear change was smoother too, plus cleaned maf with carbclean but the two wires stay dull not nice and shinny so i will be off to get a new maf at a small cost of £110.or i might try one of another car if so will let you all know my results,cheers for all the responce its good to talk ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

well plugged the maff back in today and we had o/d flashing lumpy gear change plus put your foot down lots of revs not much power at the wheels also lost 4th gear again,unplugged the maff smooth drive home of to get new maff tomorrow, this part has a lot of influence over the whole engine, so i should have a sweet running v6 cossie power machine again soon.
