    That looks fine, you would expect some oil in there.

    Phew ! That's good to here, thank you claymore for the reply.
    I've never had a turbo car before and you can read only so much but until you have the practical experience it don't mean squat.
    Cheers again mate

    its the PCV system that feeds all the oil/gunk back into the air intake pipe

    oh ok,
    i just thought the pcv system removed all the pressure from the block.
    my air intake pipe has a big chunk missing at the flange at the back of the block, it would of been like that for quite a while i reckon. ive had to order one today from rufe's. what does air intake clip onto at the block end, i know one goes to the maf but i cant see the other end.
    is there a haynes type manual to download for free online?.
