Thanks for the replies Chaps -
These are the state of the plugs:
Would say they have about 3000 miles on them by now.
Checked the oil and coolant levels, both are good. No leaks or puddles on the drive.
Cleaned the plugs up, dropped them back in, started the engine up and it does the same thing.
1st turnover, starts and then bounces off the redline
From then on starts but without any throttle it dies.
What are the normal symptoms of a blown HG?
I'll have a look at the resonator when I'm next outside. How could this blow?
Yes - it's the 6.
If I have free-flowing air wouldn't the engine rev out every time I started it?

If it's on a gti 6 check the resonator under the inlet manifold. They can pop loudly.
this!
if you had a blowback this can split the resonator box then ther will be no idle control as air is free flowing into the manifold via the crack in the box
