Bloody hell Thanks for the heads up - I've got to drop the sump anyway to change the gasket, so an oil change is definitely on the cards!

sdh2903 has very kindly shared their map and I'm currently in the middle of making a hybrid one that'll hopefully be a lot better.

I had spent a bit of time mapping and leaning it out for the emissions, but I cocked up with the adaptive map as it looks like it was aiming for about 12.5:1 - not sure how/why I set it to that, or even if I did! A bit embarrassing really!

Out of interest - how come you didn't mount the 'new/further forward' side repeaters the same way you did the ones that are already there? (I appreciate the answer might be 'so you can more easily take them off post-test!). Just wondered whether it was to do with achieving a minimum height or something...

Yep, you've kinda got it - it's basically so I didn't have to put new holes in the arches! The wires loop around the edge of the wheel arch, and I just made up some short patch leads to extend them

Fair enough. I reckon you'll be able to sell these many times over to future IVA-victims for exactly the same purpose!

Unfortunately they're pretty unique to the wing - I had to make different profiles for the left and right ones to get them to fit properly! Gotta love the dimensional accuracy of fibreglass
