KiMo W X FNC

I've not done a KiMo for a while and given that some of you like combo work, I thought I'd put one up.
I had hoped that this was going to be a human solvable - but then I saw the fatal flaw in my solution.

It is KiMo so the cage total is only the last digit and might need ten added.
It is X and Windoku (remember the hidden windows).
It is Fers Non-Consecutive: diagonally adjacent cells cannot be consecutive.

I did it without fishes, and have now revised my walk-about to be acceptable.

I've done a walk-about and will post it around Wednesday.

Thank you HATMAN - I enjoyed this one. Here are some steps along the way..

Hidden Text:
1. All 8's and 9's are natural.
2. 3/2@r7c7 must be +13 (FNC).
=> Both 7/2s in W4 must be natural. (If they were +17 this forces the 3/2 to be {67} - FNC contradiction).
=> r456c9 = +21 including a 9.
3. If 3/2@r2c5 was natural this forces the 5/2 and 6/2 in n2 to be +15 and +16 respectively - which they can't be.
=> 3/2@r2c5 = +13.
=> 6/2@r2c4 cannot be +16 because that leaves no possibilities for 13/2@r2c5 (FNC).
=> 5/2@r4c2 = +15 otherwise the uncaged cells in W1 = +25.
4. At least one of the 3/2@r5c2 and 5/2@r6c2 must be plus 10. But they cannot both be because that would make r456c1 = +2.
5. Exactly one of the 5/2@r6c2 and the 7/2@r7c4 must be +10. If both were they would add to +32, if neither were the uncaged cells in W3 add to +25.)

What is the "fatal flaw" to which you referred?
