Although not in the instructions, cars with the cannister were presumed to have the can mounted like VWR have done for you.

The fact that you can now mount the can out of the box on the driver's side lis a result of a small change in the design of the bracket that supports the can.

is it illegal or possible even for us to remove the charcol canister

bacillus:
You can remove the cannister but it's part of the EU emmissions directive for our cars. Whether your car will pass the MOT without it, I don't know.

....Understood. I guess that as a (retired) designer my approach would have been to maximise the sales potential of my product by considering its world market.

....I've been advised that the car would definitely fail the MOT without the charcoal cannister. I had asked if it could be removed.
