My new Cinq Sporting has no obvious way of connecting the loose flopping warm air pipe to the front /exhaust manifold.I forget how/where its fitted but suspect someone has broken/taken it off and not replaced it.Anyone tell me wher its meant to go?Thanks!

Technical 'Hot Air Pipe' Manifold bracket?

Yep thats what I expected ...thanks for the pic Gaz-explains it perfectly(was near Wrexham briefly on the motorway recently on my Christmas epic drive from Holyhead to Middlesborough and back (540 miles in an 899cc S -saw 90 on the clock once or twice-with massive piece of furniture/luggage in rear)!!!
... and yes thats a gorgeous intake Hormann or Novitec?

Of course the missing bracket is yet another example of the shoddy work of whatever mechanic/s worked on my ex 'little old lady' Cinq.Sporting!!!Thankfully the car is pretty good overall but is gonna take me a few hours tidying up their mess...

glad to see you drove past wrexham, not to sure why anyone would want to come here and visit
it says hormann on the airbox, not sure if that is just a freebie sticker or not
......Ooh and I see your Cinq is Imola Blue!!!I had to 'settle' for a yellow after searching for 2 months or more...nicest blend of mileage/price/condition....I saw a nice Imola Blue parked at a (mid blizzard) petrol station about 20 miles south of Stockton on Tees.It was on some nice uprated alloys .I had to stop to de ice windscreen/washer jets-I had tons of deicer in washer but still no joy!Only glitch in Cinqs epic motorway trip was front visibility in snow/ice-rather dangerous (a woman was also pulled in a Sei trying to deice her screen-so there were 3 'centos parked beside the taps!!!)

:yeahthat: couldnt have put it better myself
Sorry lads I can see you didnt like that ("settling" for yellow) comment!!!But seriously its a fairly in yer face choice .....and definitely would have been my last choice(still would !!!-see separate post!).No offence !I would still drive a Cinq Sporting if it was pink with purple spots!!!

Haha Imola's rule! Is that the OMP strut brace in the pic??? Ive got a Sparco one but it's a b*****d to get on thanks to the battery, might get OMP instead :chin:
or a nice novitec one.goes straight over the top
