looks a bit like a gypsy caravan chimney to me.
but i think it's because of the angle of the photo  |

Yep, if its the one I was lusting after at Billing it looks better from the side.

It works the same as the old Mantec mushroom with the intake around the base but it also has that extra bit at the back that you can see

The captive nuts failed as always
had to take the pipework out from the inner wing to fit normal nuts, child labour for a full day as the ABS/TC unit was also in the way. |

How easy are these to fit please and is any drilling involved?
Just removed the RAI from the D3 and had to get a repair fill and paint job to the 2 holes left in the wing. Andy |

Need a drill and a steady hand for the first bit and then a captive nut tool/press, didn't have any problems fitting it and I am no mechanic. Had a bit of a blonde moment when I opened up the box, but a bit of a think and a phone call to AndrewS to make sure I wasnt a basket case with the instructions and it was fitted! 2019 MY Disco 5 HSE Lux

Sounds like the same method as the D3 install, 2 x captive nut brass thingies above the wing duct? Andy
