the're on ebay for like £3.
you need to take the lower engine cover off. unscrew the plate underneath that. the plate is holding it in so once thats off you can just slide the top part from there and then try and get the bottom part off. i'm at work so i havn't got pics but thats basically what you have to do lol

Sorry i can't help you with the part number but this is a fairly common occurence, have a search and i'm sure you will find it  :wink:

As far as i am aware you have to undo the plate on the front of your inlet manifold (2 x 5mm allen bolts?) and then it should just pull upwards and out? Note that there is a locating tab on the tube that fits in a slot on the plate, remember to slide it in before you bolt the plate back on!  :smiley:

Oh yes, and as Barry GTi said, you need to remove the lower engine cover first!

Mine was a nightmare to get off. Ended up snapping it of and using a flat driver and a hammer to split it down the side

Not advised doing it this way though lol
