Head gasket my arse.

All the symptoms would suggest HBV has gone and is squiriting water onto the DIS pack, hence rough running.

To change both? £100 and 1 hour.

When you cleaned the breathers, did you clean/replace the thinner pipe AND the nozzle that goes into just under the throttle body (that will have been rock hard most likely).  Its vitally important to smooth running/responsiveness.

Quote: try some wynns hydralic lifter oil cleaner or it could be the exhaust gasket does the noise go away when its warm that useually points to exhaust gasket, but the wynss stuff you can get from halfrauds about £6 put it in the oil when its hot drive the car for 500 miles then do a filter and oil change for the vauxhall stuff worked a treat on my 2ltr no more rattly tappets

I got some of this Friday eve, it's £7 now, so they keeping up with the name HalFrauds. Put it in, have done 250 miles so far, and the car already is alot more responsive, quieter, and generally running 90% better, so thanks for that.

Had to go out with the missus over the weekend so missed the auction for the car, it went for £155, so someone got a good bargain.

Not to bothered now, as mine is running alot sweeter.

Her indoors will have to put up with the Calibra for a little while longer... he he..
