Good shout

Here's the part, made from rubber:




And here's the plastic cowling of the drain pipe:





The part fits up the pipe, but I don't know whether it needs some kind of bracket or what

A few Alfa Romeo Mitos blew up a couple of years back, there was a big recall order. Alternator and drive belts froze up on cold mornings, lots of smoke and screeching.

I got it from www.alfaworkshop.co.uk for about a tenner, it arrived really quickly too. It's under the Mito section, not a problem as it's the same platform as the GP and the Corsa D

Neither. It goes towards the passenger side at 90degrees.
