Cheers very much guys, have to change it now as I broke one of those plastic barbs off. I do think the asco can be fitted better and looks neater but hey! I have the MAC so in it will go. Pictures make such a difference, to me anyway.

Thanks so much for the pics, makes a difference to me seeing it. One more question, did you cut down the filter in port 3 to make it flush. Again thanks.

I broke one of the plastic tabs on the OEM one too :mrgreen:

No, those were the ports as I received them.

So just a quick thanks to the people who offered up the assistance I needed today. Nearly all sorted just need to get my hands on a longer piece of 3/16 hose. Did do a pre run and all good. Many thanks again.

Can someone tell me what the name of this part. It's on top of the rocker cover and the grey plug attaches to it. Spark lead is on the opposite side. Is this a coil? I need to buy one so if anyone knows best place to source one that'd be good. Was remove grey connector plug but didn't squeeze hard enough when pulling it off ( I know that sounds sexual) and broke small locator clip off. DoH!

So I did a small service today, Oil, oil filter and plugs. Was someone "taking the piss" putting the oil filter in an almost inaccessible position. Probably not so bad if your cars an American version, they'd have less crap in the way just guessing. I unfortunately have large forearms and I'd hate to have short arms!, by gee it was bloody difficult. I can see why people install those filter relocation thingys. Anyway, done now.
