Thanks very much:   It was the nicest trip I have had to Vauxhall spares department ever. After a read last week of how to replace the Bush on the drives   door when to vau to Saturday a spent the total sum of 50p for two new Bush,s . Took 5 mins to fit thanks to the how to and no more creaking.

All give the Breathers a good clean out BUT this time I also cleaned the Y shaped part of the system the one at the back on the engine [ sorry don't know the name.of it]. There was so much muck in it. When all do the engine seem to run a lot better and it starts we a nice big ROAR. Thank for all the help and the Great How To,s.

The easy fixes to the annoying problems are soooo satisfying

So true just out of intrest what is the name of the Y shape part at the back of the breather system and is it best to remove it when cleaning. I could not get to it to remove so just used  lots of carb cleaner and a coat hanger. Is that ok.

Thanks

and no, thats not OK - in affect you have sprayed carb cleaner into the engine oil (and possibly a load of that gunk), so that probably should be changed now.  It needs to come off to do properly.
