How did you guess James?

[QUOTE=Robbin Houses;791810]How did you guess James?[/QUOTE] just a guess mate from the yellow auto box dip stick visible in one of the photo & the rear track looked narrow compared to my old AWDs...so I guessed FWD with 7J Comet alloys - the AWDs come with wider 7.5J wheels

Looks like some investigation under the hood... Where is the small air filter thing connected to? & the pipe that is running over the fuel line pipes? I would assume some kind of PCV set up?

Well there was a hho kit fitted to it, i had never heard of it but looked like a bodge so had to remove it! The pipe with the small filter on was attached to the air filter/ turbo in pipe. I thought it was a pcv system but it wasnt so that has now been removed it was awfull when i got it there was a hho resevoir cable tied to the top stabaliser and dry cell cable tied under the battery!! So thats all been removed now and looks alot tidier
