Been having a bit of a battle with it the over the past couple of months with nothing really working as planned. I did get it running a bit better than this, but I have no idea what the fuelling is like as I didn't want to put my lambda sensor in the exhaust until I'd burnt off the oil in the bores. I'll have a play over the next few days. The TB's are in desperate need of some balancing as well!
Had it running for just under half an hour tonight, I managed to get the throttle bodies balanced which were miles out! This has changed the fuelling loads, I adjusted idle back to something like sensible, but off idle is massively rich which is why it doesn't rev too freely in the video below. I ran out of light to play much more, but it is running much, much better. And my fan works, which is good as I had forgotten to look at the temperature whilst I was balancing the bodies!

Yep, plan is to grab a tax disc tomorrow. The car is a long way from 'finished', but tax and MOT means I can drag it round to my house and have access to electricity/kettle/warmth/etc
Just stuck another 100miles on mine today, the first with the new axle and the new tank. Bit of a whine from the diff but my ears will soon get used to that, I hope.
Get some pics posted up as you do it Dave, it would be interesting to see

Rob , if you haven't got a plate type lsd in the new axle , use Millers diff oil and put ZX1 in with it first --- it will definitely extend diff life , possbly lessen the whine in the process
