Had the MOT test today and the EML for the post-cat O2 sensor didn't turn on (usually takes around 50-100 miles after reseting ECU). And it passed emissions. But it failed other areas I didn't expect! Looks like removing the O2 sensor will have to wait another day lol.

Fair enough... I'm taking the camper van so I'll have facilities to make some food and I guess!

I intend to email RRR middle of the week to confirm this saturday... if anyone is in the local and wishes to see and observe what actually happens on one of these sessions they are most welcome.

Greg is a racing car tuner.  It's best to ask him to get the idle and low rpm stuff as good as possible for driveability.  He tends to concentrate on high rpm and peak power.
Got it - I'm hoping that by this point he'll have a lot of previous maps to draw from that will help this matter..
