Thanks.

It's been really worthwhile for me as I know now the original governor was kaput. My vac pump was knackered too, but that's another story...

I've done a few more miles on the car and it's going really well. Far better low/mid power, no smoke, and no more ECM6805.

Also, the 'dump valve' type noise has more or less gone - it's certainly inaudible from within the car. I assume the ecu has adapted to the new vac pump and governor and is running as it should be again.

The last question for me is whether this will improve my fuel consumption, but I won't know that until I refuel and make the calculation (I don't trust the onboard figures). I can't help but think this can only improve the efficiency.
