When checking hoses today

I have had a slight leak on a coolant hose joint recently, just checked if tweak had stemmed the flow(it has :wink: ) so whilst I had the seats raised had a check around. I noticed that a clip off the air filter was missing :? I did not have a spare, and to be honest do not know how long it has been missing. I screwed a self tapper into the casing and twisted some copper wire around the filter to seal the gap. When out for a run later on, noticed an increase in power and I am pleased with the better performance :wink:

Probably co's copper is a better conductor of power than steel

I think that the air leak was affecting the turbo performance, so do not reckon m.p.g. will improve :cry:

I've got a Copper bracelet to ward of Arthritis & it seems to work. Perhaps that's the problem with your Bongo. "ARTHRITIS"
