jsut called AVS and they said the rubber flange is original vw, so when buying a weber, it comes with a 10mm aluminium spacer that bolts to the original pierburg rubber flange. So the bit you posted jon, was the correct bit.
£30 delivered. Cheers guys, will let you know how i get on. In the meantime im gonna put some electrical tape around the crack and see how it goes, as ive had to miss school today cos i got to the top of the high street and car started spluttering big time, so i had to turn around and limp back to my house. Will let you know how i get on.

Hate carbs. Mines doing 14mpg at the moment Going to get it setup at a place that rolling road it, tune it, then re-rolling road it and hopefully see an improvement in performance and mainly mpg!

FIXED!!!!!!! well, it was the rubber flange. Old one was cracked and the inside was perished, also, one of the 4 screws that hold it in place, was missing!!! the numpty that fitted the carb previously must of lost one and said aahhhh feck it, 3 will do. So it was both the missing screw and the flange that caused the problem. car feels so much better now, and it doesnt backfire like a machine gun now. well chuffed

my car actually made the backfiring sequence of an F1 (i know it doesnt rev to 19k rpm and i know it cant be heard miles and miles away, but it made that fast backfiring burble, it wasnt huge pops, it was like a long sequence of small pops.
listen to this video at 0:32 seconds. when he upshifts, that machine gunning sound, thats what mine made. sounded glorious.
