Yes (you do have to buy the housing as well, the motor isn't available separately as I incorrectly said earlier. Sorry about that!

I had exactly the same symptoms as you have Nathan and I only renewed the motor which cured the fault. So buy the repair kit if you want to but I think you'll be wasting your money. Why not try the motor first and see what happens?

Anyway I'll get around to replacing the adhesive gum asap.

That fitting to which the tube is connected should positively connect to the IACV housing with a click. Some up and down movement is normal but it should not be possible to lift out the fitting without depressing the locking collar.
