My V6 . The spigot coming out of airbox next to jubilee clip....should there be a hose on that?

IIRC this is just a blind spigot.
Try gauge it with a screwdriver or a pin.
I believe you will find it blocked off.

Typically it would be for a MAP sensor or other device utilising the manifold vacuum.

Yes, as Anders says, it's a blind one so no worries there lexi

Bit of a pitted LHM feed pipe there Lexi, - in the pic, dissaperaing under the ABS Block... Get that cleaned off before it gets worse!

Those are COMPLETELY moulded, both feed to Pump and return from the Regulator... Stupid really!

That's the metal part of the pipe Paul and luckily, it is replacable with a bit of determination. It's the rubbers on each end of it that are moulded... The metal pipe is not that special really although it does have a tee in it for the PAS return pipe.

Of more criticality is to take the battery tray out, give it a good clean and paint and make sure the gearbox ECU underneath is not suffering damp and corrosion.

Mine looked like it had been at the bottom of the sea for a thousand years. Silly place to put an ECU really...

Thanks for the pointers in the engine bay guys. The battery tray has been noted Jim and is on "the list". I`m loving the V6 now .........it has really grown on me and is now stretching it`s legs. Very happy with my purchase from David on here and something of a bargain IMO.
