grrR just been out to do that test and i cant even get the bloody hose off the bloody thing help.....
please lol

Assuming you're talking about the small breather hose that connects
to your cam cover, it will have just stuck it itself together.

Don't try just pulling it off, it will probably break.
Assuming you've removed the securing clip ok, put some pressure
on the end off the hose using either a broad bladed screwdriver
or a hammer shaft in the direction you wish it travel. Grasp the hose
with your pliers around where it fits on the short pipe, where it
exits the cam cover, and wiggle the hose whilst keeping the 'pushing'
pressure on the end of the hose with the screwdriver or hammer shaft.

Eventually, the 'stiction' will break and off she'll come.
Have patience, and good luck.
