cleaned the inlet mani as pretty much a last resort the other day
removed top half

bit mank inside

cleaned the inside up and bit, including the butterflies

no signs of the gaskets blowing

so pretty much given up, I know I haven't tried the alternator yet but I feel that's a long shot. may do a compression test on her to see if a cylinder is down, apparently that may cause it. If I get time ill try will's while its off.

I will be SORNing the car today though

I can certainly understand your frustration, especially when really all you want to be doing is getting the new lump in there.

Hey bud, how's it going? Is the old girl sorn and off the road now??
Still not sorted that bloody hunting on idle issue I take it

You've probably done this but have you tried spraying brake cleaner around the inlet and throttle body to see if it effects the engine? Usually will lift the revs if it's sucking air then you definately know it's an air leak then..

The antimacassers are so ghey.

Interesting the chrome grilles aren't on there...

Where did you get the catalogue?

Chrome nostrils were never an option. Just cheap aftermarket tat.

Loving the mobile phone cradle. Reminds me of my dad's vauxhall Cavillier cdx gsi 2.0 16v sri company car days.
