Going to bring one of the Omegas,the VXR8 can stay at home,as the last time I took it to the VBOA there was very little interest in it. But the very small number of Omegas that were there saw a steady stream of lookers.

I think Terry is right about the four hoses,and apparently this is what has happened,as Serek did mention something about a vacuum leak because of one of the pipe ends not being very tight...possibly slightly split......I wasn't paying much attention,as usual 
but he did say they would have to be secondhand,that much I do remember. The car is running fine for the time being and can wait a week or two as its got to go back in for the crankshaft seal,and I may have found the bits needed by then....or not!! 
Thanks to everyone for the advice,and this goes to show how the new spares situation is getting a bit grim, and relying on secondhand parts is going to get harder as the prices are getting silly.

Meant to say.....HBV was changed by removing the plenum etc and accessing it from a different way but not quite as described in the help section on this forum

As advised by Serek,message says breather pipes need changing and would think vacuum,also pipe from front of plenum to the expansion tank,problem found during HBV change.Can't ask him ...he's gone on a trip to Turkey.

One of the 3.2's was in at Serek's place today for an HBV change and to identify an oil leak (crankshaft seal) 
It was pointed out that the breather pipes were a bit past their best and new ones were needed. Question being....that it's unlikely to find new ones,so as a long shot,does anyone know is it likely that silicone replacements are available....somewhere out there.

Still have my three Omegas,and don't see any point of getting rid of them as I still get that old school pleasure of driving them.The VXR8 gets the odd weekend airing to a car show and it's pretty mental to drive. But I still prefer the Omegas to poodle around in,maybe its possibly a better the devil you know than someone elses old crap thing

The upside to that is..that the chance of having the same car sitting alongside you at the traffic lights or parked next to you at Tescos is virtually zero. But if you were driving a Euro or Jap shitebox,hmmm??
