Thanks for your imput Dave - appreciate it... will try the dash thump!!

matt lewis sensor kit turned up today, so replacing them all also cleaned idle valve as it was struggling - its like a different car -!! idles now and freely revs without backfire.. better every time I start it ! gonna drain the oil one more time to rid it of any fuel..
