Have got the S1 on axle stands awaiting essential engine work.

Silly me, opened the bonnet fully and forgot the air intake hose that runs along the o/s front wing was cable tied to the bonnet hinge. It streched and snapped. It's the hose that dissapears into the wing by the bulkhead.

Is this a nightmare to replace?

Is it simpler to sleeve off the snapped section of the hose and reattach?

Thanks

(wonder if anything else will break before i can mend the rest of the car!!!! The list is getting large now)

Cost isnt a major issue but could be fun trying to replace it all.... might just sleeve the damaged area.....

Thanks guys

Have a look at arco.co.uk follow the links and click on air ducting its approx £3.00/£4.00 per metre so now the cost of renewing the lot doesnt look to costly. I think the job of fitting it is a different proposition all together.
