Thanks DBG, I'm quite flattered by that.

Paid £550 and its defo a long time keeper. Ive fitted a new coil pack due to a misfire when I picked it up and recently done a oil/fuel/filter change last week. Whoever had the plenum off last has made a bit of a bodge putting it back together stripping 2 of the threads for the EGR so, now its only held in by 1. They must of being trying to find the air leak which is still present as they ha also silicone sealed the O rings to the inlet manifold and in doing so, one was not seated properly. Luckily I have a few spare an replaced it. The breather box on top of the plenum is also siliconed in and sounds like this is where one of the air leaks is. There is also a breather not connected but I cant see where it should be connected. I shall be cleaning out the breathers very soon once ive located a new plenum and a breather box.
