Does anyone know where I can get some flexible ducting tube to replace the original Clubman ducting that runs to and from the heater?

I don't care if it is not original, as long as it's flexible and the right diameter.

I went to a very small Mitre 10 yesterday and they had jack s##t.

Autobarn have different colours and diameters, though the tubing is meant for air intakes in riced up lancers and things.

Probably, but at least you can colour code it to your liking! :D

It would probably increase air flow through the heater by 1/4 of a horsepower too!

Anyone know where to get the really big diameter tubing that goes into the clubby heater from the duct in the front near the grill :?: It sits inside the drivers side guard

I got it from a place out at St Marys in the industrial area, but can't remeber the name of the place, i got it for my old clubman a couple of years ago, not cheap stuff though.

Give Ivan at mini spares a call he may know the name of the place, as they recomended i get it from there. Colin Dodds may know as well.
