Well..

Yesterday took of my air flow meter etc. Looks like the rubber boot that makes up the lower half of the AFM has some smallish splits in it. May well be my problem.

Additionally, the injection unit is really easy to get off. Should have done it sooner perhaps! Nearly had the new one on the same evening (started at 5.30PM and it gets dark at 10 but I couldn't get the rubber boot to sit over the throttle body nicely, then the lady rang me and asked if I wanted to go swimming, so that's what we did. Can't wait to get back today and fit the parts though.
Oh you have to remember to release the pressure from the gas tank or fuel comes out the return line continually!!
