Air flow meter block connector

[TVR keith]

A mate took his 98 400 for MOT on Saturday, all OK except emmisions too high.
Tester is a good mate of ours and spent ages trying to sort it, touched the wires on the air flow meter connector and suddenly all was well.
Obviously a bad connection which will need to be sorted.
The problem is that the connector with the wires going to the loom has always rubbed on the bonnet, and that can't be good.
Checked mine by squashing a lump of plumbers mait between the connector and the bonnet, I have 1/2" clearance.
Anyone else have this problem or know how we could give him the required clearance?

THe airflow meter is held on by a bracket - you could try and do something with that but it's probably wise to check that the bonet is sitting correctly.

There are 2 plastic bush type "things" that support the bonnet when it's closed. When I got mine I found it was rubbing at the top corner - after realignging the bonnet - I checked that thest bush things were supporting the bonnect - on mine both needed to be adjusted. If I recall correctly they're tightened with an allen key and the bush things themselves are slighlty oval.

Had exactly this problem, kept running super rich intermittently. Got some insulated spades and soldered them onto suitable lengths of appropriate coloured cable. Cut the plug off, joined the cables ( soldered and sleeved) and then put heat shrink over the lot. Fixed the problem and also stopped the rubbing on the bonnet.
