Marmox backer boards-fixing to wall

I thought you meant the studwork was shot. I'm with whitebeam if the existing studs are sound just not spaced right or enough of them then just fit more studwork and forget the ply.
 
Agree. Put more timber in. You'll probably find rebuilding all the studwork would be cheaper than sheeting over with ply anyway. But if it's only 900 wide then i'd say around 3 lengths of cls would provide ample support, structure and noggins. It's around 3-4 quid a length in most "DIY" stores.
 
Ok,

So I spent today adding more timber to the wall and spaced to match the board so job's a good 'un. Cheers.

Now onto the other wall. It's plasterboard and plastered so was intending to attach straight onto this with adhesive and screws. There'sbit of curvature in the wall though. I placed a Moarmox board up against it and there's enough give in them to follow the wall. Am I saking for trouble if I attach like that do you think. Its a 2.5m wall so hoping I don't need to 'square it off'.

Thanks
