What engine is it?

That looks like your vacuum line to your MFA. I assume that means your MPG won't read correctly.
By pulling that pipe off you have created a vaccuum leak in your induction system and are therefore disguising the real problem. Apart from your MPG not working on your MFA the engine will not be running as efficiently as it could be. I'd reconnect the pipe and do a little more investigating.

no worries geezer  

Ta mate......... but you can call me Kirsty  

Anyway, got a few bits done today.......
New plugs, dizazycap, rotor arm, clutch cable and air filter.

Tomorrow I'm doing the oil/filter change and the engine oil change...

Gearbox seems pretty darn fine now too....

Now for a(nother) question.... we found a split in part of the induction pipework from the airbox to the inlet manifold which we presumed was causing the hunting and stalling so we siliconed it up (and have a new pieceof pipe on order).... still slight hunting and car stalls if you rev it..
But.... b/f, purely by accident, pulled a small pipe off and the engine smoothed right out and revfved freely with no stalling... it's a small, white, solid pipe that runs into the cabin, under the dash and disappears into the heating system by the looks of it....
Here's a pic of where it was pulled off of.... please tell me what it is and if it's important...
