I'd best tie myself in so i don't end up putting my face through the windscreen. The problem is that its not making enough boost though, not too much but i'll give it a go. I have a spare set of hoses for that so maybe i can swap them all over anyway. One might be gunked up? Problem is that the cars behaving itself at the moment so i really need to wait until it goes wrong again.

I'll have a look for an actuator too. Could that be a cause? I don't know exactly what the actuator does but as i understand, it pulls a little arm and makes boost get bigger. Could the little arm be seized?
I know as much about the actuator as you fella but i think your pretty much right, could just be sticking some how but i dont know whats in side them to stick or clog up but they do get bloody hot!!
