On the fuel purge module at the front of the inlet manifold there is a hard black line with white writing on it that runs from here then down the drivers side of the engine to a fuel line. What's it for and where does it go? (And what effect does this have?)
Tapatalk won't allow a photo at the moment for some reason???

If I get a chance today, I'll crawl under my car and have a look where it goes mate.

Could be the vapour return line for the fuel tank. If it comes from the fuel system under bonnet and goes to the rear

Hmm would explain the third line on the fuel pump but can't remember where it goes in the charcoal box. What would happen if it was plugged or blocked?

There would probably be an excessive buildup of pressure in the fuel tank.
