PCJ was coughing & spluttering this afternoon just after i'd ran it up, bit of a nip in the air, Winters here lets change the air filter to the 'snorkel' type, guess what, it ran perfect after that :thumbs:

If anyone else needs this (I probably will!), East Kent claim to be able to supply that seal

as well as windscreen and rear window seals

http://www.eastkenttrimsupplies.com/a30 ... 02x2818322

Anyone used them/these?
