Hi all,

I have tried to wriggle the new extractors into my roundy van, I just can't seem to get them down between the fire-wall and engine.
Apart from undo the engine steady and tilt the engine, is there a simple trick? They are 'Cooper S' ManiFlow 3,2,1 pipes (so not the biggest ones either!).

Suggestions?

Yes, just simply undo the engine steady bars , tilt the engine forward a little & Bob`s your Aunty,,, easy-peasy

Top is wider than the bottom, so they won't really wriggle through very easyily.

Thanks for the advice, will get them in soon.
And Davo111, the answer is no, all those tubes are not going to fit from the bottom up!

Easier thing would be to lift the whole engine out and put the extractors on then lower it back in! :wink:
