LOL at this thread [until i decide to fork out for the pd160 and have the same trouble fitting it]

mark

its easy to fit!

Noobs I tell you! - NOOBS!

Apart from being incompetent I really don't grasp what you are trying to say. The 'so called guide' is there as a guide only.

I do find it odd how I managed to complete this in under 15 minutes complete with both hands, legs and head..... I thought it was rather nice that a member spent time and effort making a guide for other members to use.

Perhaps you should leave future mods to a garage? I would hate for a 'Briskoda guide' to be held responsible for a death or car looking like this:

I do apologise if anyone has taken my post seriously and taken it out of the context it was meant to be in, which was in fact only injecting a bit of humour into a dull post about the air intake mod.

This is the first, and i mean first, ever mod i have ever done to any car i have ever owned. Normally i would take my car to a garage to have any work done but this time i thought "what the heck". Yes, i did slice my finger, did clack my knuckles and did drop the screw but i can assure you it was not the hardest of jobs. Anyone thinking of doing this mod and is not too sure about all i can say is just go for it. There is a certain satisfaction in knowing that you have done a job yourself.

For those that did take my original post seriously (yes, you know who you are) you can kiss my hairy *** s*** and then you can pucker up and...........you get the drift !!!

Lol u guys need to lay of the wacky backy

I'd have said they need more too calm down

I'd have said they need more too calm down

*edit* missread your post - thought you said "I'd have said they need to calm down more"

there as mad as toast

you paid £90 pounds for a plastic pipe and your own blood what dodgy doctors are you going to haha!!

I did take your words seriously but as others had responded in a informative and adult manner and covered all bases i guessed it would be nice to add some humour.

Sorry if this has offended i will try not to be funny on this forum and am now a grumpy git.

Thanks

LOL, not you Static :p

there as mad as toast

Basically a vent in the wheel arch liner to let the hot air out from behind the intercooler.

'Search' and you will find.

... OLD thread but i feel this is relevant. 

 

The REAL meaning of the Haynes instructions

Haynes: This is a tight fit.
Translation: Not a hope in hell matey! ... Clamp with adjustable spanner then beat repeatedly with hammer. 

Haynes: As described in Chapter 7...
Translation: That'll teach you not to read through before you start, now you are looking at scary photos of the inside of a gearbox. 

Haynes: Pry...
Translation: Hammer a screwdriver into... 

Haynes: Undo...
Translation: Go buy a tin of WD40 (industrial size). 

Haynes: Ease ...
Translation: Apply superhuman strength to ... 

Haynes: Retain tiny spring...
Translation: "Crikey what was that, it nearly had my eye out"! 

Haynes: Press and rotate to remove bulb...
Translation: OK - that's the glass bit off, now fetch some good pliers to dig out the bayonet part and remaining glass shards. 

Haynes: Lightly...
Translation: Start off lightly and build up till the veins on your forehead are throbbing then re-check the manual because what you are doing now cannot be considered "lightly". 

Haynes: Weekly checks...
Translation: If it isn't broken don't fix it! 

Haynes: Routine maintenance...
Translation: If it isn't broken... it's about to be! 

Haynes: One spanner rating (simple).
Translation: Your Mum could do this... so how did you manage to botch it up? 

Haynes: Two spanner rating.
Translation: Now you may think that you can do this because two is a low, tiny, ikkle number... but you also thought that the wiring diagram was a map of the Tokyo underground (in fact that would have been more use to you). 

Haynes: Three spanner rating (intermediate).
Translation: Make sure you won't need your car for a couple of days and that your AA cover includes Home Start. 

Haynes: Four spanner rating.
Translation: You are seriously considering this aren't you, you pleb!

Haynes: If not, you can fabricate your own special tool like this...
Translation: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! 

Haynes: Compress...
Translation: Squeeze with all your might, jump up and down on, swear at, throw at the garage wall, then search for it in the dark corner of the garage whilst muttering "******" repeatedly under your breath. 

Haynes: Inspect...
Translation: Squint at really hard and pretend you know what you are looking at, then declare in a loud knowing voice to your wife "Yep, as I thought, it's going to need a new one"! 

Haynes: Carefully...
Translation: You are about to cut yourself! 

Haynes: Retaining nut...
Translation: Yes, that's it, that big spherical blob of rust. 

Haynes: Get an assistant...
Translation: Prepare to humiliate yourself in front of someone you know. 

Haynes: Refitting is the reverse sequence to removal.
Translation: But you swear in different places. 

Haynes: Prise away plastic locating pegs...
Translation: Snap off... 

Haynes: Using a suitable drift or pin-punch...
Translation: The biggest nail in your tool box isn't a suitable drift! 

Haynes: Everyday toolkit
Translation: Ensure you have an RAC Card & Mobile Phone 

Haynes: Apply moderate heat...
Translation: Placing your mouth near it and huffing isn't moderate heat. 
Translation #2: Heat up until glowing red, if it still doesn't come undone use a hacksaw. 

Haynes: Apply moderate heat...
Translation: Unless you have a blast furnace, don't bother. Clamp with adjustable spanner then beat repeatedly with hammer.

Translation: Stick a screwdriver through it and beat handle repeatedly with a hammer. 

Haynes: Replace old gasket with a new one.
Translation: I know I've got a tube of Krazy Glue around here somewhere. 

Haynes: Grease well before refitting.
Translation: Spend an hour searching for your tub of grease before chancing upon a bottle of washing-up liquid. Wipe some congealed washing up liquid from the dispenser nozzle and use that since it's got a similar texture and will probably get you to Halfords to buy some Castrol grease. 

Haynes: See illustration for details
Translation: None of the illustrations notes will match the pictured exploded, numbered parts. The unit illustrated is from a previous or variant model.

Yeah sorry but mine fitted relatively easily, took around 10 mins. They do cost way too much though!!
