Finally got around to replacing the Vent Trunking on the V66.
Little thing - big change
Available via e-bay btw:
Just the wheels to finish and the rest of the engine bay to clean now...............
(Never ends eh?!)
Happy Daffing All, Keep Belting Along!

Excellent find!
I need to replace mine too. What length did you order?
Also how to you get to/fit the end that goes through the bulkhead to the vent in the car?

Thank you Richard,
I bought 2 metres, (in case I messed it up!!) - and have used 1 !! (Still, some spare for next time eh?!)
I have cheated at the bulkhead end. This tubing is 65mm, 60mm internal - the original seems to be 60mm external............ so I've left some of the original from the vent into the engine bay and the new tube slips very snuggly over the original in fact you can "screw" it on very tightly - job done, much hassle saved! There is, in fact, just enough room to sort of screw the new a little way into the big rubber gromit that goes through the bulkhead.
As you can see, it also fits tightly over the heater box connector, although I'm going to put a large jubilee clip on that end, just to fully secure - and I think it will look better.
Hope that helps - more pics available if required.
Best wishes Graeme
