    High tick over/juddering

    Used the car this morning running as it should on leaving for work I started the car and it felt rough the revs were low, revved the car up seemed lumpy I drove of and it started to kangaroo was only doing 10 mph when I stopped the revs were on 1400 rpm and they won't drop below that. When I accelerate it drives ok the boost gauge only reads 0.2 bar when I accelerate hard but as said it drives ok. Coming home tonight had the same erratic running doing 10 mph was really violent. Would I be right in thinking it,s the dreded boost leak or something else with the engine running on high idle.

    Have you pulled the codes? Sounds to me like you have a large boost leak

            Make sure the neighbours aren't watching, and just pull the vacuum pipes of the back of the inlet manifold one by one, suck, and put your tongue on the pipe, if it holds your
            tongue it holds vacuum You will need the pressure test kit and compressor for the other pipes.

              One way valve?

              take the pipe off the underside of the inlet and bung it at both ends.
