Now I always thought they didn't one until I removed my bumper today and found this. This is what I thought was the location of it and it has a pipe coming from the head or inlet, didn't look too much just got a photo.

Can you let me know ASAP as bumper is off so will remove it!

 

[Fred@BTM]

yup that there be one

Is this a Renault f**k up lol? It's a Y Registered in April 01 but I have Cable TB lol?

So safe to remove it? Best way to block pipe???

I still don't understand the reason for removing these lol.

I looked at mine the other week when fitting my HIDs, that was as far as it went.

apprently according to fred when i asked him he just said bin it lol but mike a retech insisted if we take these out we have to block up the pipe then drill a small hole in filler cap due to its the breather canister for the fuel tank and if pipe work is left unblocked it could be dangerous fuel vapour near brakes so im bit ummmmm ahhhhh bout it at mo to.......................

and hold up is ur touching the floor???

Well I took it off and blocked up both pipes that come from it. Everyone else done that and had no problems?

I needed to make way for brake cooling as cooked my brakes yesterday, glazed over like anything! New pads on, brake cooling ducts in, new CAF in, new splitter on and OMP towing eye in good work for 3 hours I think!

Now I have a knocking and the rubber on my ball joint is split so guessing its fucked, doubt my car will be at FCS
