So the Dobby problems continue...

Went out a couple of days ago, and there was a radical loss of boost. The car would rev, but there was a lack of power.
I plugged in MES and there were no fault codes logged.
I did notice that the Turbo Boost wasn't changing though, and the Boost solenoid was at 0 all the time.
When I lifted the bonnet to look for the solenoid, it became clear that I had a small visitor, who had been storing and eating his nuts under the engine cover!
Looking around, I noticed a broken/chewed pipe on the left (looking forward) of the engine. Battery side. There was a stub, but no evidence of where the rest of the pipe was, or indeed where it went to.
Would someone with a 1.6 M/J please have a look (you may need to lift the engine cover off) to see where this pipe is supposed to be.
Its the middle pipe of the three, just to the rear and under the dipstick tube. The front (blue) pipe goes across the front of the car to the turbo.
Its (faintly) ringed in the attached picture.
Thanks

So 'he' did.. :(

Worth looking in the bravo section.. or tipo maybe..

More 1.6 mj's in there :)
 
A big thanks to DobloguyNW who went out (in the snow!) to check this for me.
As I half suspected, the centre stub was blanked off.
A short length of vac pipe plugged with a bolt (!) sorted the problem so I now have a properly performing Dobby.
I need to check frequently now for little visitors - and on the other car too.
