Rigid silicone pipe will hold it in place.

Yep, ditto. Plus mine rests against the Fusebox, in actual fact it doesn't move around at all.... And as far as water ingress, never had a problem.
This is the Silicone hose I used 70mm. - 70mm. (£11.50) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1606043320...84.m1497.l2649 And the little Filter, which you can't see in my picture. (£4.45) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1806752873...84.m1497.l2649 I already had my Airfilter from quite a while ago which I bought for £40, but I got this one for my son's 2.5 here: (£37.00) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2508918025...84.m1497.l2649 The thin tubing I had laying around off an old washing machine..... Hope this helps.......

I am about to try this air cleaner mod for my 2.5 conni. I have a couple of questions if you are still around Colin_NI.
1) I cannot see how the connection is made between the 76mm - 70mm hose and the actual air cleaner both of which I have. Do you need to have a metal insert to make it rigid, before making the connection? 2) I have a small puddle of oil,in the throttle body throat when I remove the present air cleaner hose. Is that caused by the breather condensate, and what happens to it in the new system? Has any one else done this mod, care to comment? Thanks all. |

Your air filter should have came with various "reducers" to fit and adjust the diameter from say 90mm inside the filter to say 76mm or dam close etc. 2) I have a small puddle of oil,in the throttle body throat when I remove the present air cleaner hose. Is that caused by the breather condensate, and what happens to it in the new system? Thats why my breather is side ways so it can drip out if required, as it by OEM would return into the engine.

You can get a cold air kit fitted, better than using a hot air feed from the engine bay
Remove all of the rover induction, all of it.. Then put the new filter cylinder facing downwards where the rover stuff used to be. Bolt it to the engine bulkhead Feed from throttle Then out to the inner wing Much better solution £50 from ebay |

cjdonny - what diameter pipes did you use? are they both one size throughout the length of it? As opposed to a reducer type that others have used? and what diameter / size crankcase filter did you use? I have a new cone filter but not the smaller one and also no pipes or jubilee clips. When purchasing i didnt realise it needed these pipes also, thought it slid straight on by itself. Cheers.
