Just to add aswel. When it does fire up if you rev it it sounds like its missing untill about 3000rpm but wont idle just cuts out

Sounds like a vac leak to me- I would double check all the hoses and ISV.

Best way of checking for leaks?? Take pipes off and refit? Look for splits? Anything else?? Driving me mad

There is a large hose under the air feed just after the fuel distributer which fits into a grey valve. It's only a couple of inches long/ inch diameter, and will give your symptoms if disconnected.

Its an air leak problem without a doubt.

 

make sure manifold is sealed and every pipe around is also sealed & connected.

Check the long thin breather hose that is connected to the dual thermostat located underside of throttle body air intake tunnel to the air box. Without this connected the car won't start for sh*t.

This might help.

That's a pretty neat diagram Wullie, where's it from?

Found it on here ages ago and thought it worth keeping. Comes in handy a times like this.

I've just added the diagram to my Tech Data. Nice one ;)
