Replaced all the vacuum rubber hosing and the throttle body rubber boot (£50!). She didn't want to fire up but had a fiddle with the vacuum capsule thingie plug on the air metering head and it started :clap: . Not gone for a drive yet, should cure the gentle kangarooing on lift off!! Fingles-crossed :lol:

 

Edit - No it hasn't but the shagged CV joints (multiple methinks) prob ain't helping none. :(

Removed stock o2 sensor from de-cat pipe and fitted a bosch 4.2 wideband sensor in its place. Wired in wideband controller and gauge. Connected simulated narrowband output from controller to the ecu. Set co pot to roughly 14.7 at idle when the engine is warm. Glad to say that the car seems to be fueling perfectly.

 

Next. :salute:
