    pulled and sprayed the front bumper, cleaned up the terminals for horns and indicators and put it all back together. Also found a loose fuel-line connection whilst at the carwash, after a good blast of the engine bay(no wonder it wouldn't start !!)

    Fiddled with Vacuum lines, changed some, blocked some off and the car is idling better, but has more lag...

    FPR is getting replaced tomorrow at this stage, it does not hold pressure which I feel may be causing some surge and also hard starting. See if that being replaced makes a difference.

    I have some old injectors with caps on the end. worked well on old 1.8.

    But new one been ported so injectors sit a bit in ports. so goign to grind them down, little bit of sealant and presto, should work
