    Any motor factors will sell them, even Halfrauds.
    A jubilee Clip will do temporarily.

    Yep but smaller I think. 12-13mm? Have a measure or look on the others. They're stamped with the size.

    Probably any old school motor factors. They're normally open Sunday mornings.
     
  10. fixed the filter clip and moved it slightly away from the heat
    thank you, oh also put a new foam seal around engine but theres about 3-5 inches at the centre back I cant reach, is this ok?

    Have you tried getting at it from underneath?

  12. The main risk is the foam getting sucked into the fan. This will cause the engine to overheat. You can get to it, it just hurts a bit as you have to force your hands down behind the fan housing. It is worth getting the job done properly. There is a knack to it. Start at the centre back ( behind the fanhousing). getting access from the LHS of the engine. As you move round it gets easier. Then move to the RHS of the fanhousing and work your way towards the engine lid.
     
  13. its so tight it scares me a little, thinking a tyre might deflate or something :(

  15. ^this. Fold the foam in half, mark the middle with a marker pen, then start in the highest bit behind the fan shroud, working your way round to the engine lid. You may need to get underneath to fiddle the tight middle bit through properly.
     
  16. How did the van get on in the MOT?
