That's sh1t! Thought you'd be covered under 'fire'. You not just stick a new loom on and tidy the engine bay up? Any pics?

quite often damaged looms can cause damage to the ecu as well.

Every cloud has a silver lining. Maybe a time for an upgrade perhaps?

Well you could. Was thinking MBE Ecu, custom loom and some throttle bodies. Drastic. Yeah. But fuck it, the car lives to fight another day. This time make it fight harder! You know it makes sense even if the bank disagrees, and they are gay any way!!!!

I would make absolute certain of this mate.. lambda probes only provide the ecu with a reading between 400 and 800 mV typically. and the heating side of things only occurs during the first few minutes of running although at full battery voltage...
