Scrubbed the under tray with neat fairy liquid, will give the pipe work a clean up & see how she fares. Thanks

Is this likely to be an MOT failure? I need to reschedule before 12 tomorrow to avoid losing out on the fee.

No.

Before I press the button on these can someone confirm I have ordered the right amount of the right seals?





For anyone coming across this in a search I found this pic helpful to understand how the clips work (not mechanically minded).

Cheers bud but I'm going to replace them with new parts for piece of mind.

Fingers crossed for today.

Edit- she passed with flying colours :)

Nope. They can't remove engine covers to inspect, so don't worry.

I have a similar issue on the opposite side to you, passed an MOT. Thinking that I may as well replace both the pipes and intercooler while I'm doing other intake parts, but that's part of a secret plan I'm forming...

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

Passed today thankfully, no mention of it :)

Think I might replace the hoses with this

The jubilee clips should hold out a bit better than OEM.

The jubilee clips don't replace the oem spring clips, they secure the alloy ends to the silicone pipes... Should imagine it would be a good replacement thought :happy2:
