....Well, I wouldn't want anyone to feint from shock and horror when spotting that my clips in my engine bay weren't oem, would I! :evilgrin:

Methinks I'll wait and see what the supplied clips look like but one thing is clear: The Khazi Can needs removing from the engine bay to then be emptied and cleaned properly, and so spring clips might just be rather more helpful. So it's not just a cosmetic consideration.

The supplied clamps are standard jubilee clamps.

....Then it's gotta be worth £8 to be able to spring clip off the Khazi Can each time you need.

Steve,

can't see the pics, did the clips fit well, with correct tension to prevent leaks?

^^^ Not sure what you mean Keith  :confused:

To empty the can (when installed in the BSH standard location) you need to remove the two hoses connecting to it then it just pulls out of the bracket.

You can then open the tap on the bottom and drain it off to a suitable container  :happy2:
