I've now got the inlet manifold back on but frustratingly, one of the very small bore plastic vacuum pipes that comes out of the back of the rubber hose that connects the plenum to the manifold has come out of the thing it's connected to somewhere in the rats nest near the starter motor.

You are now beginning to understand why we require "carte blanche" when we do one of these; any hose or connection that looks even questionable goes in favor of new pieces. Not the cheapest approach, but it prevents "come backs".
