hi,

yeah some ticking from top end, and pretty black. I intend doing a proper service on her over the next few weeks.

Nope! Before spending anything on diagnostics, get the service done. A sticky tappet will give the lambda a headache with incomplete combustion or running lean, or not scavenging etc etc.
