Yes, I fitted one and it works fine. Not sure why the part number is different, they look identical on the outside.

Concur. I have bought one and installed it. Needed to use the original bolt etc. Seems the one I bought has the part number for Kia's. MUCH cheaper.

found a couple of more inter changeable parts that fit the Rover 75.
Mini (BMW) era door lock actuators are identical to the Rover 75 ones as is some Landrover ones.
Exhaust downpipe gasket (the 2 bolt metal ones) I believe are the same as the Mini Copper R52 and an Audi A2 (whatever that is !!)

Freelander type (rear) is same overall length but 'all filter' - it drops into the housing & just gets held in place by the cap instead. Here is a comparison pic:



I must admit the 'original' type seems better engineered to me - are any still like this or has all production switched over to the (presumably cheaper) 'all filter' style?

Default Genuine MAF sensor replacement part, £76

seeing this probably is a tech topic I am posting this info in its own thread here.

After some research I located some MAF sensors that may have been the same as ours but all in theory, nothing proven - until now .

Having just had a very nervous M5 owning mate watch me strip his MAF, and refit it, I can confirm that the M5 E39 Bosch MAF, p/n 0280217533, contains an F00C2G2029 insert, same as our cars.

SO, if this is a genuine Bosch we have a source of new genuine MAF sensors for about £76 including postage.

That's very helpful as I have just been looking on their website for a Bosch MAF 0 928 400 520 at £119 plus £5 delivery....But I made an offer through Ebay of £90.
If they do not accept this offer I will buy the BMW M5 MAF you have found..

Remember markyp, the MAF housing itself will not fit our cars, you will need to transfer the sensor inside it to your old housing. Give the old housing a really good clean while you are at it

I also accept no blame if it comes with a different sensor, that is something to argue with the supplier. A genuine new Bosch will have the correct sensor

Worth noting this will also invalidate your 2 year warranty that is given.

Good work to find that the same sensor is available in other housings and slightly cheaper the only concern I have is the warranty being voided.
