Also can see in one pic the vac pipe wasnt fully on the elbow so may have played a part??

Update...
One old ht lead re fitted as the replacemant on front pass side pot shat itself and left metal on emd of spark plug...
Retrieved that and stuck the old lead on ....
Had a wee blast round the block earlier and defo back on all 6...
New vac pipe to new fuel pressure reg seems better tighter (airtight) fit and it may now be doing its job.
Viz tied open and vac pipe doubled over and cable tied to block (rule out vac leak from viz but still get more bhp)...
Caravan now hitched and ready for tomorrow!

So glad to report meanie didnt miss a beat towing to and from show and the short run between site n showground. Towes really really well done really feel our lil caravan at all compared to emmas 1.8 petrol cmax .
Looks like meanie is finally on track to being a reliable motor!

Lil update.. shocking drive to pod on 4/6 of engine but foxed for way home ... as was tje caravan tire that disentigrated on way up!

Must have lost exhaust hanger on way ho.e as one box was wobbling and hanging down...

Sorted that other day amd got a touch of arc eye again ... twat..
Rewelded as best i could the broken welds on the cherry bomb centre box and now loads quieter... must have been loose for a while!!!

Went out for a run last night to a work meal and silly boy got a tkt on way home thru bas for 60 in a 50... hopefully get a speed awareness course!

New rear shocks were fitted other day too and just awaiting the fit of new front shocks n coils and rear leaves as one side is looking very grim indeed!!!
