When I pop up Thursday we can try and find where the play is coming from as well if you want mate

That'd be great Matt, was gonna have a look tonight but now will be replacing the throttle cable that snapped this morning

Relays don't have to go in the right coloured plug, if your blower works, you have definitely got the relay in the right slot, if you want to know which it is, keep pulling relays and trying the blower until it doesn't come on, it's definitely not the orange or black (heated rear window and indicators), I'm pretty sure its the top brown relay in the green slot. Have you tried starting the engine with it on full cold? Weirdly mine stays cold for about 50% of journeys doing that, not perfect but it's a start lol. I'm at a loss with it now though but won't be looking any further into it so good luck with yours!

Left and right movement I'd check the P bush and track rod end.

Erratic idle is an odd one...I've never had a 306 idle as well as the current GTi6, despite all it's other faults. Can you tell if the throttle body has been off the manifold? If so it's likely the gasket between them was broken. It could also be the resonator under the manifold with a small leak which could eventually look like Mackat's one lol.

I need to spend a bit of time with a multimeter I think so I can see what's what. I'll give it a go starting on cold although in bit sure what that says, maybe the control for the flaps has packed up or they're wedged behind the dash.

As for the erratic idle that will have to wait thanks to this bloody cable
