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 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.
