it shouldn't throw anything with that resistor in there AFAIK...

Might be worth a call to Nick to see if it's possible to do it...

Is it safe to just stick the petrol breather pipe outside?

mine has just been poked out of the wing and is resting on the arch liner so it doesn't come in contact with the tyre. I also stuck a cheap breather filter on the end

Can you just go over exactly how to connect the resistor to the plug.
I want to keep the original plug, incase things go wrong!

There is nothing to go wrong, if you cut the connector off using wire cutters, leave yourself an inch or so per wire and if at some point you want to reconnect the carbon canister, solder the wires and heat wrap - job done  :wink:

 Done it! I kept the solenoid attached and tucked it under the expansion bottle. As this still keeps an electrical loop/resistance, will it keep fault codes at bay? Or does it somehow measure the flow or something?

Did you remove the metal piece in the connector? I had to use a alan key to remove it as mine kept ticking away lmao

I did the same but removed the plastic trim under the windcreen and zip tied it away tidy out of the way from the wipers and put the trim back on  :grin:
