as since i had it repainted in sept last year the roof around the sunroof has rotted badly
the new shell had a little bit of rot to sort on the osr rear arch.
so going to do a bit of a tidy up smooth/tidy/repaint the engine bay, sort any dings and then a full repaint hoping to have the car back on the road within a few weeks
Am booked into MSD in october for a set up,gonna pick stu's brains about what to do next power wise.

Yeah, every manufacturer in the world since 1992 (Any many before in USA and Europe) are all fooking idiots. Pointless system. 
Problems are NOT caused by closed loop systems. Every car in the world has had it fitted for over 16 years. Its tried and tested by ever manufacturere in the world and they still use it today. Even the saphs manufactured in late 1991 and ALL the Escort Cosworths had it as standard, as do all the Focus Rs, ST etc.
The problems are caused by faulty cars and owners not doing things correctly, as i get the feeling Matt may confirm...

All I am saying is that there seems to be quite a few problems popping up on here, are they genuine issues, or are these people foolish enough not to read the instructions that come with the kits?

Where did I say it was? 
Also it could well be, but it would be for the wrong reasons, I,e if it was running a tad lean for whatever reason, with no closed loop to correct it, you would save fuel
The most important part of closed loop fueling is to know that where ever possible the engine will be running the correct AFR for the condition, and know it is not running lean/rich, and to ensure engine longevity is maintained due to the mentioned points.
