Bit the bullet tonight and managed to get it out with a centre punch.
MAF didn't look that dirty when I got it out, but I cleaned it and popped it back in. Didn't reset the ECU, because I don't want to mess up the way the abs and traction control are switched off at the moment.
I noticed some folks mentioned an o-ring. Seems to have disappeared on mine (issue?).
I screwed the MAF back in (and unscrewed again with the centre punch ) and took it for a quick spin around the block. It might need some more time to settle in but I can't see a massive difference. Maybe a bit more responsive (it revved quick the one time I floored it) but still slow on the gear changes. Dunno how essential the ECU reset is. Get it done once the mechanic sees it. Not driving it at the moment anyway.
Reckon I've hit my mechanical limit for now. In a few pay days I'll take it to a mechanic and get the abs and tranny and throttle issues looked at and get some proper all terrains on it.
