Yeah iv fitted these and the actual carbon canister hose is too short (hose 6 in ebay pic)

i ended up having to buy extra silicon hose and joiners to extend it to fit, ours is a slightly different set up (i know there listed to fit ours)

Also hose 5 in the ebay pic wont fit on our carbon canister either, i ended up replacing the small hose on top of the inlet manifold with it.

Heres a link which shows where they all should go....

For some reason the pictures aren't showing... :( i'll try on my computer at home as i'm on a work laptop and it might be restricted somehow lol.

Thanks for the information though, it's a bit of bad advertising i guess. :(

I'm not sure what effect that would have on the engine, plus i've just bought the hoses so i figure it'd be a waste of monies. Convince me sir. ;)

P.s. Picture finally loaded... took forever! Thanks leon_sport!

Resistor to fool the system into thinking it's still there is about £2
Screw to block one pipe to the TIP is pennies
Less weight in the bay
Redundant piece of kit after 30,000 miles (IIRC)
Less clutter in the bay
One less thing to possibly go wrong.

You do have to route one pipe down behind the wing (for excess fuel tank pressure or something) but there is hole of that to get it right in there :)

This is for an LC though, would've though it's similar to the LCR regarding the canister.
