Wasn't blowing any smoke or showing any signs of hesitation while I was behind you. I'd be inclined to check or replace the PCV.
Yeh could be, just want to be happy that there isn't something wrong with it first.
Felt like it was driving fine so yeah ill be checking the PCV.

Secondly, when idling remove the oil cap and observe the amount of gas escaping. Not necessarily the pressure (as it'll go elsewhere when you block it off) but the volume of gas. If it's like an exhaust pipe you have a blown out piston (which is quite common)
Sounds just as normal as it ever has.
OK ill have a look at that tomorrow.

Cheers guys!
