Managed to throw a PO171 and a PO174. Drove several miles home before "restricted performance" came up.
Luckily came across the issue within about 60 seconds.
In the picture you can see the vacuum tube to the throttle body area behind the brass connector where it is supposed to be attached.
How the heck it came off is a mystery to me. I did put a little gasket maker on the brass connector before reinstalling the tube.

Fitted a set of 17" Elegant wheels to replace my 19" Polaris. I found the ride rather too harsh, and the worst bit is the vulnerability to kerbing. Hell, you've only to look at the kerb whilst parking and a wheel is kerbed. With the new wheels, the tyres are "fatter" therefore the tyre contacts the kerb well before the rim. The wheels are quite a few years old, yet virtually unmarked. Ride now is much more compliant. Tomorrow I will have the two front tyres replaced as one is a 2003 Pirelli P6000 and the other a 2007 Kumho Solus. Rears are 2016 Kumho Ecowings with a lot of tread left, so I'm going to run these for a while.

Today, I changed the oil and filter. I also flushed the coolant by draining, and refilling with distilled water 5 times. Last refill was with straight Dex-Cool to achieve the correct mix. fairly easy job, but time consuming what with waiting for it to come up to operating temp and then cool back down 5 times.

Hi xj8jr sounded like a noisy bearing but the noise went after a minute and only done it when it was cold sometimes it never made a noise at all, initially I thought it might be the supercharger as the noise seem to be in that area so i left the car over night then I drained the cooling system and removed the header tank and the supercharger belt and started it up noise was still there,so I removed the aux belt and spun all the pulleys to make sure all were good and the only slightly noise one was the water pump if I turned it slowly you could feel the roughness in the bearing so I replaced it and all is quite again.
