haha nevermind. it's back to 'normal'. Typical VT lol. definetly sucking air from around the throttle body somewhere. oh well been like it for 2 years might just leave it till i get rid of the heap of ****.

Fixed! Replaced the gasket, couldn't do the egr pipe or pcv valve but all fixed. Runs on petrol perfect now and vacuum leak has gone. Cheers for the help everyone

hold on, the mrs has said its been stalling on her and I put it down to the gas convertor freezing up as it needed a bit of coolant. (valley cover lol) but just checked error codes again and its thrown a code 47, so could it be the cas is on its way out? but then it would be **** on gas too though?

Update: new leads went in tonight and now it's running on 5 on petrol but mint still on gas.. Yeah new gasket for egr valve, purge hose is still on, swapped and cleaned iac with my other vt while troubleshooting that car too. Checked if injectors were leaking. Valley cover kit just arrived so...

Dfi and coil packs, iac, maf sensor are good as I've put them in my other car for trouble shooting, also fuel pump is brand new too also done the filter and leads are probably due to be changed so will do them after the valley cover gaskets have been done. Could even be dodgy tps I guess.

Plugs I did about 6 weeks ago, think the guy at sprints said 1.3 mm but I'll double check that gap and im running the colder plugs also. Seems like it might have been that egr valve hissing pretty much all gone now. It still runs fine on gas and idles better now but a tad rough on petrol...

Just put the spare egr valve in and it's idling a lot better, still a tiny bit rough. Can still hear a leak though. has to be the egr I'm pretty sure the revs picked up after spraying **** down it.

Got a spare egr valve so I'll try that, will also get a pcv too. Bloody thing blew a hole in the airbox again today lol 4th one in 5 years hahaha

Fuel isn't that old, topped up regularly as it uses fuel to start then switch to gas. Plugs and leads are new, dfi and coil pack are fine. Running rough due to the vacuum leak.

Got a vacuum leak somewhere, sounds like its coming from behind the throttle body (from inside it sounds like behind the dash). the car drives pretty much perfect on gas and on petrol it barely idles/sounds like its running on 5. Already replaced fuel pump/filter so def not that. Im thinking...

yeah looks fixed now. brake lights have been on for at least 5 minutes and no fuse pop. did end up being a left hand bulb holder,stopped popping the fuse after I disconnected it. should be able to drive it tomorrow and pick up a new holder/loom bit on the way home. Cheers

I thought that after I posted lol. I've dug up my multimeter to try and find the fault in the wire. Also going to disconnect the bulb holders off the loom and see if that works. cheers for all the help fellas

haha looks like someone already changed the switch at some point with a non cruise control one. Edit. definitely not the switch. Found 3 spares in my shed and popped the fuse straight away. Has to be a wiring short. Somebody has butchered the wiring in it tho for a grandpa stocker. Cant...

Fuse 5. stop lamps. Yeah hopefully get auto electrician to look at it Monday, was hoping to fix it myself bit over the bus/train/bus/walk comute to and from work lol.

Nah car is stock as a rock. Tried using new globes and also tried with no globes in at all and still have the issue. I'm hopefully picking up another brake switch tonight and seeing how it goes.
