What were you using to look at the live data?

Was the actual idle all over the place or just the readings? (735-780 doesn't seem a huge spread of readings to me).

MAF is typically pretty stable at around 12 kg/h at idle IME.

Was the dash gauge reading roughly 72 degrees? (I'd say around 85 is more typically when fully warmed up).

What I mean is that seems on the low side-should it not be 85ish? Is something wrong?

It now owes me £2500++++++ along with 2 months of every spare minute laour-and is still waiting for the trackrods, steering idler, front ball joints to be fitted, now it looks like it needs a sensor or two and a thermostat.

I know, I know-before you tell me I could have had a mint 3.2 with Bose, CID, LPG etc I KNOW!!!!!

I will only drive a car I feel is as good as new, 100% safe and completely rattle free-this is why I am poor Grin
