It was indeed a vacuum leak, but a very strange one considering it'd get 
through -more- fuel than it should, mainly because it was adjusted so 
high at idle to get around the leaks. All the injector seals were rock 
hard and the injectors weren't held in by much more than gravity. The 
intake manifold had had too-long a bolt installed at the back edge and 
had actually peeled back one of the core plugs causing a slight leak 
there. We've got more intake manifolds than you can shake a stick at so 
we just fitted a spare one, which neatly solved the problem of the 
stripped threads at the air-horn end too. New soopa doopa injector seals 
(see website :-) and a new metering head and intake venturi as part of 
the Stage 1 anyway, and now the clutch does indeed slip quite 
enthusiastically. Not the first one to have had performance mods which 
then highlighted a dodgy clutch!

MOT only failed on handbrake, although he did frown at the fluffy dice....
