Help, my air intake pipe won't stay on!

[Type_R]

Well for the last 6 months now I have noticed that gradually my air intake pipe that connects to the duct at the front and the engine cover at the back keeps on coming off! I thought this was because of my engine cover, but since replacing that, even driving 10 miles and popping open the bonnet means that the pipe comes off. Could it be a dodgy clip, or am I just not putting it far enough on to the engine cover?

Any tips much appreciated.

Is your engine mounts ok ?

Are you talking about the mounts which the engine cover mounts on to or the actual engine mounts - which brings me to the next question, where are they?

Slight hijack here - is there any reason why you can't fit a piece of nice smooth silicone tube in place of the corrugated pipe?
Slightly smoother flow, prob stay in place better and looks nicer .....

Good idea that man! I loved the jubilee clips that came with my Forge TwinTake Intake - those were good times!

So what size Jubilee clip are we talking?
