Anyone know we're I can get a diagram of the engine hoses etc on the forum?

Ah that was the secondary air pump motor hose the one which connected to the air filter so it can't be that the search continues lol

Oh another thing if this helps it sounds like it's backfiring/misfiring coming from the air box?its a silly double headed mushroom style filter that's on it not that normal box if that makes sense

Can you get a picture up?

Anyone else fancy telling me wat they think of this if it's a vacuum leak why would It come back that's what I don't get the reson I rekon it was down to the fuel unless it's been mapped on vpower a duno just want a few opinions lol

Your rough running issue won't be down to using 97ron fuel buddy. I run mine on esso fuel and it runs fine. It runs a bit better on super but it just feels a bit more responsive. It certainly doesn't misfire and idle rough on 97. Your problem is probably intermittent. I agree probably not a vac or boost leak as it would run like that no matter what fuel was in. Is there any cel lights on?

Nope no cel lights or nothing on at all
