Thanks for the reply. Waiting for better weather and a new garage (we're moving soon, Again! - Geez I feel like Baby Dinosaur). Then I can work on the van properly using my own tools. Think I'll just do 'Bank 1' first (on the exhaust manifold; - after plenty of PB Blaster and an over night soak) and see what happens after the ECM levels out a re-learns.
