Right does anyone know what the pipe is for on the pictures. It comes from the back right hand side of the engine and goes into the top of the intake pipe just above the throttle body?? Is it important and can I run the car without it.

Also the gunk in the first pic was in that pipe. Does anyone know what it is and why its there (is it bad news)

that look like it could be a crank case breather pipe the gunk look like emulsified oil, is the car used for lots of short journeys? as it may just be condensation

Usually jorneys between 10 - 30 mins.

i would say that it is condensation

Yeah... Looks like what I found in mine about a week or so ago.
Different area, but still the same gunk, consistency etc.

Iwouid change the oil,
Perhaps buy cheapo oil first run it with that in then dump it and then change to good stuff
Morrison's used to sell cheapo oil ..I used it as flushing oil
Not sure if the still sell it mind..
