Deffo IRD breather, needs refitting ASAP.

Yes, definately the breather pipe from the top of the IRD. Awkward to get at
The clip with the hole attaches to the plastic duct from the MAF/Air filter box to the Turbo.
There is a threaded brass insert (M6) moulded into the duct housing at the top. You will see it if you remove the top rear plastic cover....the one over the air filter.
Personally, I would take the car back to them and get them to put it back on F.O.C.

Regarding the battery, it could be a duff battery or something draining it. Get your radio security code first then put a multi meter, set at Amps, in series with the positive lead on the battery. With everything switched off you should not be reading many, if any Amps. If it is, it could be the alternator, if not, pull every fuse out one at a time until the multi meter is not reading any current...this will pinpoint the area that is causing the drain, long winded process !!!

thanks all for your reply`s
will call mechanic tomorow about the pipe to get sorted
will have a go with test meter after too
once again thank you

if your batter is draining in a couple of hours you may have a wire trapped some where and shorting out
