ive actually had some luck with the car yesterday, i found a vacuum pipe which had completely torn off! and another which had split, i replaced the pipes and wow! the car is now quick..... i mean far quicker than it was when we swapped and ever since ive been driving it, im guessing the leak started while you still had it and had gradually got worse, did you ever notice it didnt feel as good as it once did? anyway im pretty happy with it now :-)
think im going to sort the looks out a bit now, ive painted the rear valance and ive got an R32 front bumper to go on so far, as i think you'll agree it looks pretty boring as standard lol
