   yea i did mate and it was leacking and is all new with air filter but i have noticed that i think he has put the oil breather filter on wrong pipe i thought it should go onto of the rocker cover but hes got it connect to a large pipe that comes from the back of the throttle body somewhere?

   If it starts when you hit the gas then I would remove the throttle body and clean the whole lot including the ICV.
   
   Knocking noise could be driveshaft or droplink....does it do it when turning or just when the wheels are straight?

   That's an oil breather hose, usually connects to the air filter housing somewhere.

    The hose coming off the rocker cover is the oil breather pipe and connects to the air filter box on a normal setup but aftermarket induction kits normally have a connector for the pipe also.

    No worries mate
    
    I would get a garage to take a look at the knocking so they can tell you what it is, it will likely be something cheap, especially if you can fit the part yourself.

    When you say 'the back of the engine'....do you mean the back of the rocker cover itself or the back of the head/block of the engine?
