I'm almost sure that there's something wrong with your engine, maybe lambda sensor is messing up? Have you tested exhaust gasses recently?
You’ve mentioned that you have close ratio gearbox. Can you tell me what’s the engine speed let say at 100km/h?
Well, that may very well be the case. The lambda hypothesis should be verifyable with a voltmeter, shouldn't it? I haven't checked the gasses, I couldn't even get the shock absorbers checked when I asked for it. That sort of control station

I will check the RPMs during the weekend and get back to you. Thanks.
