Trying to help a member. Mechanical issues, car holding back **UPDATE- Post 28**

Took the car for an MOT so decided to see if the garage could see the problem... simple! Split vacuum hose. Replaced it and it sorted everything. The loss of power, choking, idle problems (although it still fluctuates the tiniest bit which im not too worried about right now), heating up slowly.

 

On top of that, the car is so much smoother to drive (didn't realise it got this smooth!) and is easily faster than before I noticed problems!

 

I didn't realise it got this good! :D

 

On top of that, the garage was nice enough to scrub my lights down and now they look awesome.

Can you show me where the vacuum hose is located? I have a feeling that may be one of the things I should check on my car.

 

I'm having codes 41, 42 on my car... intermittently getting /!\ warning and check engine light while on the motorway. However, I didn't notice any drop in power or idling. It does disappear when I shut it down and start it again. Help?
