We've all broken them before - the clips that hold the airbox lid down, just wondering if they are replaceable, and if so, how do the new ones fit on? I had a bit of a look and can't see how you would be able to fit new ones on?
And while on the topic, is there a better way to secure the lid cos the clips annoy the crap out of me!  :

Yes, they are replaceable. They just clip in. As you are looking at the box from the front of the car, there is one at the top, 2 down the right side, one at the bottom and one on the left. Best way to see how they clip in is to take the whole box out.
As for better ways - of course there are, but none as convenient. You could try some long bolts with wing nuts, or tec screws.

Wonder if the LPG springs clips fit ... they are bloody easy to use.

Are the petrol version spring-loaded?????
Not sure ... JC will be a little more knowledgable on this subject ... he might even have pics on it.

LPG ones are spring clips. Petrol ones are straight clips. The LPG ones are more of a pain than the petrol ones.
