nice
My car continues to play up, randomly "stalls" when slowing down, and up to now, I've been stopping the car, restarting it again and going on my way, but I noticed last night if I just let the clutch back out it restarts itself don't know what to make of that one, only seems to do it when it's raining or now it's been stupidly cold

lol I wouldn't even know how to install an oil catch tank haha. Problem with the pipe is that it's attached to the one big piece, if you look back at my engine bay pic on the last page, you see the big black resonator at the top of the engine cover? That is one big piece that seems to include the MAF, is connected to the throttle body and this pipe that's connected to the block, it's worn in such a way that it's impossible even to make a temporary repair - tape won't stick to it
