It's behind the passenger headlight and the wheel arch liner has to come off to get at it.
No real downsides apart from it being an arse to remove for no real gain,
removing the air feed at the valve is all you really need to do.
I'm afraid not mate, I would take one for you right now but my DSLR is broken. :dapprove:
I'll see if I can find a pic the same setup in the 'Engine Bay' thread.
I've got the JMS V6 setup and the kit originally came with a small length of pipe and a Pipercorss oil breather.
They're about a fiver, just take the breather pipe off the original elbow and shove a oil breather on the end,
you can cut it to a shorter length if you want, as for the acoustic...
That's the thing about these cars mate, they may be cheap to buy but they're not cheap to run,
and if you don't keep on top of servicing and belts etc, they f*ck up quickly.
That's a different knock all together, plus he said it only happens when he boots it and changes gear,
i've had both knocks on mine and the top mount knock happens every time you pull away, brake and turn, even at slow speeds.
Whereas the dogbone knock is more pronounced under hard acceleration...
An hours labour I reckon, so about £50/£60 quid,
they'll have to cut out the old bushes and press in the new ones.
As for the whine, it's hard to tell without a video of the noise.
Where in the country are you?
It usually a symptom of a worn engine or gearbox mount,
usually the (lower) dogbone mount, most of us upgrade the dogbone bushes to powerflex ones,
as this normally stops the knocking.
It's not serious or expensive, but it's best to do it sooner rather than later.
Really?
60mm in length is tiny, barely the size of my little finger.
10cm/4 inches would be better, big enough to see but small enough to not take up too much space.
