Guys I was lucky to pick up a Pipercross filter on Ebay and it arrived this morning. I looked at the instructions and can't work it out. I know I probably being a complete numpty but does anyone have any decent instructions with pictures of how to fit this thing?

cheers

Should be fairly simple I'd have thought, if not a little fiddly due to it's location.

Locate the throttle-body on the car, then unhook everything upstream of that. Then attach the replacement pipercross filter and pipe to the throttlebody using the supplied jubilee clips etc.

Be careful, you should either get detailed instruction's or I'd pay the £135 fitting charge mess it up and you'll be having issues with your Ecu

cheers for the advice, if someone has pics and good instructions I will give it a go but otherwise I may have to bend over - in the good old days when I was 17 and had my XR2 it all seemed a lot easier with one trip to halfords and a few go racer stripes.
