What a joke! sent a e-mail to maniflow for a fitting kit for my maniflow inlet/twin hs2 set-up, and sent me a reply saying they don't supply one, and suggested Burlen. Having a laugh given the money I spent. GRRR!

I think they are, but is a standard air filter box the same on SPI's and MPIs?

    You don't *really* need the hot/cold air flap, it only aids cold running for a short time. I have my vac line for it going to a vac guage on my spi...

    ...so I would say you could use an MPi one on an SPi (some say the MPi inlet pipe flows better) if you block off the red vac line.

Got a parking ticket through the post yesterday. Their ANPR cameras show my car enter and exit the car park. What they don't show is that my car was parked on a friends driveway which can only be accessed by driving through the car park. I have appealed

    It's not the first time this has happened to someone visiting my friend. He's helped family and friends get wrongly issued charges cancelled before so we've just done the same as before. Under no circumstances will I be paying the charge as I was not parked in the car park.

Removed the straight cut drops and for the first time in years driven with the new helical drop gears fitted. I can't believe I can drive it without my ears bleeding!

Master cylinder to servo: signs of water entering joint causing corrosion -no gasket specified with O ring

    Adding a paper gasket may effect the O ring compression & sealing. Thinking about using a v thin application of Hylomar away from the O ring to reduce the water ingress.

    Brake fluid leaked into the joint on mine and caused corrosion and failure of the o-ring. Could that be the cause? After re-painting, I sourced a brake fluid resistant o-ring.

    It seems a very limited design, the joint seals the vacuum only with the o-ring. There is nothing to keep stuff out of the joint which could compromise it.
