   Hi all, thats one of the reasons why i got a set of braided hoses, 
there seems to be a bit of a funny things going on with certain 
batches.
I had new accumilator hoses and one split in a big way, yet i had the 
same batch fitted and its been ok for a long while (touch wood) 
although i was running premium unleaded when the pipe split.
   Im also glad floppy didnt go up, cos if it were me i'd cry.
     cheers tourettes tone

pipe 12 flats (2 turns). Then, run the engine to normal temperature 
then unscrew the back one (nearest the metering flap) open until the 
engine revs just increase then back it off 1.5 flats. This should 
give more air bypass round the throttle plate instead of just through 
the idle speed motor. Give it a go, this is how I set the engines so 
that the idle oscillation is minimised.
