I see that one of my favourite journalists has given up his much loved Jaguar after two years because ownership of a Jaguar damages his socialist credentials.

Hello Rowley, I had mine done by a guy also on Facebook, called Heavenly Headlights. I was a bit sceptical as I had already tried the Turtle Wax headlight restorer kit. But for £25 I thought why not. He booked me in for a 1 hour window. He sanded the lights down using 3 grades of sandpaper. Buffed them, then applied a clear protective coat over the top. 5 months on still look great. On the last M.o.t they were an advisory now they are good. Steve

Wow! That's some big stuff there Andy, thanks for the explanation

I could be wrong, but a lot of intake pipes have a hollow 'swirl chamber' (for want of a better description) to reduce the amount of intake noise. That is what I think the 'lump' is in this case ? In Subaru world, we remove the intake 'silencer' for more induction noise and so that you can hear the turbo ! In need a bigger picture to see properly, but you could potentially replace the MAF to throttle body section of the hose with a piece of flexible ducting in the correct diameter ? Should give you slightly better airflow and a slightly sportier induction noise ? I would want to use something with a reasonably thick wall but flexible enough to bend to shape. Tried a 4" silicone pipe as a cold air feed to an enclosed cone filter on one of my Imprezas but the silicone pipe was too 'rigid' to bend where I wanted it to go, ended up using a wire reinforced 4" ducting pipe instead.
