Airbox Problem

[Stevoo]

Hi guys need your advice.

 

I changed my panel Air filter at weekend, but when putting the airbox back on the clips which connect the pipe feed to where MAF sensor sits snapped off when pushing them down!!! So now i have tie clips in place as temp measure.

 

Went to ford they wont sell top cover of box, they sell whole unit for 114.00 +vat :lol: WTF.......

tried looking for induction kits for a laugh there only 70ish but for model 2000>

I have 2.3 1997 R plate.

 

Any ideas what to do as buying new box is a complete piss take!!!

 

thanks in advance.

mine has been connected with cable ties for the last couple of years with no problems. i don't think there are any cheap options as even the airboxes on eBay or at your local breakers will be in high demand for the reasons you have stated.

 

a kn filter is another option and would save the hassle of having to remove the airbox in order to get access to just about anything under the bonnet.

It's not like you would draw in much crap round the edges of the pipe under vacuum - go spend the money on a good meal instead.
