190 Air filter

Salad-Dodger · 28th March 2015, 10:36

Hiya. I've been sorting a new air filter on my 190 and as far as I can see, there's just a long bit of trunking connected to the air cleaner box by a clip. The trunking just dangles down under the air box, in mid-air and is open at the end. I know it has to be open or no air would be able to get in there but is this the complete item, or am I missing some part here? I've got to replace the trunking at some stage as its falling apart at the end.

Also, where on this earth can I get hold of a good parts manual for this car? Been looking on the net but can't find anything other than a load of rubbish that runs inside the "rave" system. hasn't anyone produced one on paper yet? When I had my 620ti I had the printed Rover manuals. Did they do them for this car, or is it all on a computer?

Cheers. Steve

This is a Shannon tube I think? Its a flexy that is supposed to connect back up to the air intake which is up under the wing. Rather than pay a fortune for an OEM one I got a flexi which is for a cone filter from my local factors and this came with sleeving and jubilee clips which fitted nicely (although I took the bumper off to get access as I could not have done it otherwise!)
