Oh no, what have I broken...

I must be feeling flush! I will leave the repaired part in situ, but keep the new one as spare as apparently they are prone to go brittle and break and when it does again I am all ready to go with an F1 style swap over.

Oh my...

" You don't wanna do it like that "

Where is the duck tape? Surely a proper job needs duck tape?

2 tools in my toolbox a hammer and duck tape. If it moves tape it, If it doesnt
move hit it until it does then realise that it shouldnt move after all and tape it.

Happy motoring

I thought it was a "professional" glue job, never crossed my mind to bodge it with tape! I've let myself down....

Surprised Jim, as one the bangereers, that with a low pressure, non-critical component like that, you are buying a new part at all.

I reckon that even the most commited "bangernomicker" can stretch to a fiver

Why? There's a lot of fivers under every bonnet.

Sometimes it's worth biting the bullet & spending a fiver can save time & money, I'll be interested to see how long the Araldite repair lasts

Are you sure? How often have you been to a £ shop and come out having spent more than a £ ?

Does it have a turbo?

One of the pages I linked to described that this assembly was needed to avoid turbo failure.

As it is a vacuum hose, I doubt the araldite will be holding out against a vacuum and at best there will be a leak, at worst the long thin pipe is so blocked up with crud anyway the vacuum isn't getting a chance to break the araldite joint.

I wouldn't think the araldite join lasts more than a day or two.
