Hi does anybody have any pictures of under their intercooler without a catch can installed?
If so could you post one as im in the middle of taking the oil catch can out. I have bought the stock tubing to put back on, i just need to see how the stock ones are plumbed in.
Thanks
Luca

Someone must have one! I'll be doing mine a week today too

But mines an easy install to revert back.

lucachiarelli · Feb 10th, 2008, 11:47 AM

These are the stock parts i bought

uncle albert · Feb 10th, 2008, 12:33 PM

Is this any good?

MINI-Morgan · Feb 10th, 2008, 01:22 PM

Good work

that shows the 2 pipes you need to set back to stock

lucachiarelli · Feb 10th, 2008, 02:03 PM

my grey pipe has a yellow rubber stopper on the end.
Does that stay on?

Damn good find

And I mean for a guide to changing injectors.

MINI-Morgan · Feb 10th, 2008, 04:13 PM

Pic? The air box cover?

MINI-Morgan · Feb 10th, 2008, 04:28 PM

How about this pic?

lucachiarelli · Feb 10th, 2008, 05:27 PM

Air box is sorted now.
Need to take off the plate which sets the coil pack back, but its held on with 4 allen key bolts which seem to have started to round off.
My allen key just loses grip.
I know it can stay there but need to give the plate to the guy who bought the intercooler.
This is the last part of putting the car back together aswell.
Proper gutted.

alski · Feb 10th, 2008, 05:39 PM

extream but, .... buy 5 alun keys, super glue 4 of them in, buy 4 new bolts .... sorted

lucachiarelli · Feb 10th, 2008, 06:30 PM

Going to leave the car until morning.
Lost an intercooler clamp bolt aswell now

Where can i get a set of clamps and bolts from?

..Blackadder.. · Feb 10th, 2008, 07:33 PM

Hey Luca have you got a dremel?? you could slice the bolts with a cutting disk then use a flat bladed screwdriver then replace the bolts, as for the clamp bolts could always ask 1320 or Mini matt or theres a mini breakers in Bury mate could try them here's the number 01617611615.

alski · Feb 10th, 2008, 07:49 PM

other option hex bit and impact driver

whats your trade in value if you dont mind posting, you might get a better offer 0ff here?

lucachiarelli · Feb 10th, 2008, 09:20 PM

Car wont be going for at least another month.
Not sure what trade in value is for my car looking for £15k
Taking parts off early to get it out of the way so that im not rushing after.

Thats what I do

Works a treat

lucachiarelli · Feb 11th, 2008, 07:14 AM

Dont have a dremel lol.
I'll sort the plate out another time.
Found the missing bolt and put the intercooler back on at last but a new problem.
The top bolt holes dont line up with the ones under the intercooler

MINI-Morgan · Feb 11th, 2008, 06:37 PM

How does that happen?? They are fixed in place arent they??
