Well a pleasant days tinkering. Calliper pistons were a bit 'cruddy'. I cleaned them up and let a bit of brake fluid soak its way in and re-fitted the pads . On spinning the wheels, it was difficult to say if they were binding.... I am not sure how freely they should spin what with the drive shafts and what have you . I did video before and after on one side, not uploaded it though..... I think it was a little free-er after.......
On flashing the engine up, the idle was a tad 'hunty' so, I decided to pull the idle valve again, the thing inside it that should move freely was a bit sluggish once again, so that had been cleaned up..... Again.
I pulled the plugs, they were a little sooty, not majorly, but showing signs of running a tad rich? Checked all of the vacuum hoses and all seem fine.
Oh, I sprayed a bit of contact cleaner into the injector plugs too, thanks
Went for a spin, but will have to wait and see if mpg improves, 24.4 is a bit grim!
PS: I didn't read the codes today, but did about 2 weeks ago on noticing the poor mpg. Using my home made 'flash code reader' it returned a 1-1-1, so no faults stored
