The valve lets the engine breath and burn crankcase fumes. You can clean it with brake cleaner or petrol.

The only thing I can say, is that the valve sticking open on my car caused weak-mixture warnings and within a fistful of miles overheating to the point that the Concorde-takeoff fan came on. Not good.
That may be a bad luck one-off, but they are cheap things to replace, like the schedule says to do anyway.

I think he cured the misfire, with a plug change?

Just an update, had to have a new diff that was replaced by Chris, new coil packs now on the car as that was the problem with misfire. Front wheel bearing now changed and also abs sensor. Now has 130,000 on it and I'm still in love with it
I saw this for sale thread on Google just now and I've now near done 50'000 miles in 7 years next month with this car.
Learned a lot and done quite a bit to it and had a few issues on the way but still think this is a great car and I'm very happy I bought it.
