Couldn't find anything untoward in or around the cambelt, so have put everything back together with the plan to do the pedal trick when I get home.
That'll be interesting 

Once put back together, try running engine without aux belt on. That way water pump won't be running, rule that out. Don't run it for very long though 

[jonny2112]

Ok pal. Will do 

[jonny2112]

Before getting the spanners out again, though I'd try the pedal trick. Bearing in mind I haven't done this before on the car, I don't know if there were any codes already stored. Having said that, I was pleasantly surprised that there were only 5 codes -

0120 - Throttle/pedalPosition sensor/switch "A" circuit range/performanceProblem
0220 - Throttle/pedalPosition sensor/switch "B" circuit range/performanceProblem
1110 - Intake Manifold Valve 1 Open
1111 - Intake Manifold Valve 2 Open
1700 - Service Vehicle Soon Request from Transmission Control Module
 
Ignoring the last code, it would seem I have done something very silly at some point during reassembly. At least I'm hoping that's the case 
I guess I'll have to go through what I've already done, but any pointers would be appreciated 

Thanks for all the help and advice so far, and my ignorance shows when I thought that stupid washer was involved

Have you plugged in the little solenoid valves that operate the multirams? (one on the bagpipes in front of the engine, the other on the rear passenger corner of the plenum)

Ditto the throttle body. Has the electrical connector to this been refitted?

[jonny2112]

I thought everything had been refitted, especially as I've had the plenum on and off a couple of times this past while

I'll check all the connections again though, thanks Kevin 

[Kevin Wood]

They may be stored codes, of course. Did you turn on the ignition while they were disconnected during the job?

[jonny2112]

No I don't think so, but they could be stored codes indeed. Can they be reset by me so that I can try again? Or is that a job for tech2?
It does quite fit in though with the work I was doing? I've a day off tomorrow so hope I can get to the bottom of it!

Wish I'd had the wit to check for codes initially, before wasting time stripping it down again 

[Kevin Wood]

Well, I wouldn't worry too much about the codes at this stage. There's nothing there to indicate what the rattle might be. 

[jonny2112]

I know. I think I'm getting carried away, thinking its something simple.
We'll see tomorrow 

[jonny2112]

Bloomin' weather!! Was outside for five minutes and got absolutely soaked 
Didn't see anything untoward or disconnected though.
Going to take the plenum off again, and the inlet and the sandwich plate so I can check the intakes, and make sure everything is put back in place.

[jonny2112]

Just been looking through the guides again, and it states there is a vacuum hose on the inlet. I don't recall seeing this on the initial removal, and therefore did not replace it. All I remember is the wiring block.
Where does the hose connect to, or where from, so I can check?

Cheers

Thin vacuum pipe runs from the vacuum box down by the front "bagpipes" along the n/s cam cover then connects to a little curved rubber pipe onto the rear multirams almost directly next to the black cable plug

[jonny2112]

Just thinking actually, is there a small vacuum pipe attached to the inlet which attaches to the underside of the throttle bodies? It's not actually removed from the inlet as its already been disconnected from the throttle?

Cheers mate, that's at the back of the plenum?

[amba]

Yes...connects at the back n/side of plenum just by the bracket that holds the cable tray.There is a curved peice of rubber that fits to the multiram and the vacuum pipe just pushes into the end
