I think the first pic looks like a fuel tank vent valve thats attached to the right side of the inlet. Could be wrong though.

Second pic is gearbox spacers. The attach between the rear mount and the gearbox to space it out so the linkage and everything lines up properly.

Third pic is oil pressure or oil level i can't think which one. If theres a plug on the loom for it then i'd get a new one as it'll just bring up a fault code.

Yeah the EGR is underneath but on the 1600's the vent valve is just bolted to the inlet i'll try and find a picture.

Its quite hard to see but if you look at the plastic engine cover, look at the bolt on the right hand side of the cover and then go across to the right a little bit you can just about see it inbetween the cover and the hose

Fuel tank vent valve. Bracket goes around inlet red plugs goes into it and a vacuum. From the throttle body.

Last one isn't needed

always handy to have someone else look over it especially just to make sure everythings on right, loom routed right so you have no elec issues and that.

Too many bodged XE corsas done just make sure its done right!

The thing is with me. I know exactly what im doing or how im doing it and shit. Just sometimes i get to a point when i look at stuff thats blatently obvious and i think.... What the fuck. Haha. I just over think things which ends in a full on brain fart. Haha. All i need now is all the hoses and vaccumes and stuff and the engine will be done and ready to go
