I've just figured out that the mystery oily lump hanging off the side of the carb is (or was) an EGR valve. The exhaust manifold has clearly been changed at some stage, because it's not connected, just a bunged hose.
But it's a future source of problems (the valve itself is clearly broken, with a big steel washer jangling merrily), so the whole mess is heading binwards, and the plug to the inlet is getting bunged, together with the vac take-off on the air filter trunking.
I'm presuming there's no downside here to be aware of...?
