As Niall said, my fuel line was leaky too, the rubber had reacted with the petrol and gone brittle.
-As to the resonator bung. This should make the manifold quieter, as the only real purpose was to resonate the air going through it to create noise. Hence the name resonator. The bung quietens the induction noise, but gives some silly small power gain. About 1-1.5 bhp IIRC.
Flat spot in acceleration: I have noticed no larger flat spot in mine that when the plastic 1.8 manifold was fitted. The 16v engines are funny like that in peugeots. Both my 1.8s almost feel like they have 'boost' when you hit 4-5k as the power just increases somewhat. But then that is the purpose of having 16 valves i suppose. No huge flat spot over here though.
Gutted to see the ding though mate... Hope it gets sorted...
