I'll put up some pics tomorrow.
That can easily be seen connecting from air box to the oval plastic cross-pipe, I don't have one of these available (IIRC I scrapped them all when I had a clear-out) !Turbo Killer wrote:.............I need two rubber pipes on the air inlet side, the oval rubber piece that connects to the air cleaner......
I think you got the description of that slightly wrong, I take that you really meant the Rubber Diesel Primer bulb ?Turbo Killer wrote:...... and the rubber bellows (concertina type) which is on the top left near the fuel filter as you look at the car from the front ..........
Technically you are correct, an air leak on this kind of diesel shouldn't make too much difference to the running, but after the service i taped up the split pipes and the idling is fineDefender110 wrote:Not sure if this new one is what you are looking for? Although they may need replacing I doubt replacing them will have any effect on the running of your engine. It is only when you get air in the fuel lines that you will have running issues with this type of diesel. more modern ones sometimes do as they have air flow meters in the system but our old BX's don't. The engine would run the same if you removed the hoses all together.(although the air wouldn't be clean filtered)
