Default Mass air flow sensor

Hello again I am having trouble with my disco II. I think my mass air flow sensor is bad and I am wondering how they go out. I recently had an oil change and they checked my air filter (which was dirty). Got a new air filter and probelms started. Check engine light came on and rover is running bad. Tranny feels hot through the floor. Brakes locked up on one wheel. Abs traction control and down hill descent lights are all on. I tried cleaning the MAFF with crc mas air flow cleaner. Still no luck. I was told a weak battery could cause problems changed battery and no luck. The OBD II codes are P1590 P0102 and P1884. Is the next best step to repalce Mass air flow. Where is the best place to buy. Recently flushed radiator and coolant. Also replaced spark plugs. Land rover has 144,000 miles on it.

Im having the same problem, I changed the air filter and no change, my codes are P1171, P1174 and generic code P0174, all are indication of lean mixture, I sure don't want to replace an O2 sensor knowing something else could be the problem, my problem started a few days after I replace the two front tires on my 2001 Disco II 110000 miles...

Please let me know if you were able to resolve the problem

You have 2 different problems:
P1590 is a rough road code, you need either the hub is going bad, or one of your brake components is failing.

P0102/P1884 are MAF related. No real difference in where you buy the replacement.

You need to replace yours based on the 102 fault code. Do not buy a generic or after market replacement, might check out British Parts of Utah for a pretty good price.
The 1590 is your 3 amigos and the 1884 will go away when you replace the MAF.

You are not having the same problem. Now if you had a 733 or 734 along with those codes, you might need a replacement . You need to trouble shoot those lean codes first before you buy a MAF

Thanks Mike, will follow your advice upon my return from Panama City Florida, I guess I will have to take the other car for now.

Thanks again
