Hi all, well i have taken the car apart, turns out as a few suggested that it was the rocker cover gasket that caused the whole problem not the dis pack. the plugs were flooded in oil.
spoke to a man at vauxhall who said that is the casue of most of the problems.
so a big thanks to peole who posted how to's and advice.
i'm cleaning the breather stuff at the mo to ensure it doesn't repeat.
great fun taking everything apark except the spme of the wiring. lol hope that works whjen i put it all together.
NB. i have cam covers off now so apart from HBV and crank case breather and cleaning plenum what else should i do while i'm there.
kind regards

Be careful when you put the covers back on ... main problems ..
1. Correct BLACK sealant and only where the guide says.
2. Ensure the "half moons" stay where they are supposed to !! its easy just to move them slightly
3. Passenger side cover - its tight getting it back on and is very easy just to catch the gasket on a tappet as you position it, this can lead to an inch or so of gasket dropping from the slot ... it'll leak like a sieve .. ( I know .. trust me !)
other than that .. its easy (ish) :) ( and even easier the 2nd time ... see item 3 !!! )
