I see what you mean tho. It has been spluttering pretty badly and popping on decelleration..
Also the plug read as mega lean

Is it worth spending the £40 on a new valve or should i look for a used one?

What could cause all of this to happen? just wear and tear?

oh - re spluttering and lean plug readings - the std airscrew settings are way too lean, you need to screw them out 3 turns from fully in and you will get better idling with less low rpm popping.
