Might invest in a K&N panel filter only because it can be cleaned...

I will not be doing any diesel tuning that's for sure! This one certainly has a stronger mid range than the Peugeot though!

Did a bit more fiddling today. The breather pipe was always popping off the attachment on the airbox which sometimes meant oil could be smelt inside the car. The airbox attachment is actually that off the original airscoop that sits on the standard throttle body. It was cut off the scoop and used on the new airbox. It was slightly loose in the airbox which mean't the standard hose couldn't be pushed on all the way hence it kept jumping off.
So I went on Ebay and bought some silicone tubing for less than £6. I cut the hose to release the original clip that attaches to the rocker cover.
Then I attached the hose to the original clip and the airbox attachment with a jubilee clip to make sure the hose doesn't come off.

It's 13mm internal diameter. It's not Samco but does the job fine. You got any pictures as to where you want hose for?
Also does your car use an inlet air temp sensor? Mine seems to only have sensors for coolant, throttle position and the crank sensor.

Just get on Ebay then. For a breather pipe any brand of silicone will do.
I just can't find a air temp sensor at all on mine. Spike, where does your sit?
Can't stop taking pictures while the sun is out...

Yes I can see your sensor now. Either mine isn't fitted with one or it's nearer the inlet behind the arch liner somewhere.
I've had a couple of things from this place. Pretty quick postage too.

What does your trip computer say now Edward/Spike, has there been any difference on fuel consumption?

I'm not sure what it's doing mpg wise. It runs hotter so that will mean it's using more fuel. I've not put fuel in it for 2 weeks.

It's not a multiplexed car so doesn't have one. I'm not sure one would work anyway with the way the car has been wired up. Not sure if Multiplexed cars are able to be wired the same as mine.
I always thought the original sensors had to keep being used in order to fool the original ECU into thinking it was still controlling the engine. On mine all the redundant stuff has been disconnected and the plugs can be seen in the first picture on the previous page. Disconnecting stuff would put the ECU light on so mine has had the bulb removed.
The original ECU now just measures coolant temperature for the guage and oil temperature. Another coolant sensor is fitted for the new ECU to read. I guess the original flywheel sensor still sends the signal via the ECU for the rev counter too.
My car uses the original flywheel sensor for the new ECU too. Longmans used a separate trigger wheel and crank sensor but that might just have been because of the EFi ECU they used. .
