Yeah, my pipe that kept going was behind the fog light grill. Must have popped off about 10 times over 2 days while I tried adjusting the fitment and trying different clamps, before finally giving it a chop.
Not much fun refitting it on the side of the road every time you test it!

Preaching to the choir sister.
Im glad i had the tools and original pipe with me.
Didn't even bother trying to re-attach the new one.
Just grabbed the original, stuck it on and headed home.
Bought some blank centre caps I'm hoping will fit my FR wheels that I can then put a SEAT badge on and stop messing about with the star style caps that cover the wheel bolts.
Also bought a boost gauge and an air vent mount.
Then some equipment I bought for work failed - hopefully I can send it back, otherwise I'm £200 down.
When it comes to the car, I try not to get upset about things that weren't my fault. Sometimes things just don't work. I'll save the anger for the times I later realised there was a different solution to something that ended up with me sawing something in half or in my case, having to buy a new wishbone.

Do you use Murray clamps?
Had intercooler hose blow off twice until I refitted with Murray clamps. No prob since.

I kept going out with a handful of clips and tools. Thankfully there is a quiet stretch of dual carriageway near my house with a lay by on each side.
Atleast putting the original back on was an option for you. I was well past the point of no return!
I was considering buying one of those pipes til I removed mine and found it was already debaffled so I just painted it black.

Id never heard of them but just had a look and can see the advantage over a standard jubilee clip. Going to have a look at the size on the car and get one ordered. Nice one
I looked at de baffling mine a few weeks ago when i replaced the elbow but couldn't figure out how to remove it. So didn't. Still an opinion as at least the pipe fits.

Yeah designed to spread load evenly across clamp. Good stuff.
Owen developments sell them at a decent price but there is post to pay.

Thank you Sparkie
News to me too, they are nice.
Which type do you use for air hoses? The corrugated version?
Fitting a new FMIC which is a PITA so will investigate getting some for that.

The pics don't do your car justice mate. It's a nice looking leon you got.... even tho you went rallying around the lanes first lol
Struggling to find a hose clamp from the turbo elbow to the charge pipe. Anyone know somewhere that'll supply a decent one? The one one there has been tightened and loosened so many times now i dont trust it (not as smooth when turning the screw as it was). The seller of the charge pipe wanted pix of it fitted so its been off and on twice today. Its about 275mm which is the problem. Its a big bugga!
But the charge pipe is like only 60-70 mm in diameter even the maf /airfilter is only 80mm ........
Got me confused now.
How is a jubilee clip measured?
If i were to get piece of string and wrap it once around the pipe so the ends touched, itd need to be a 275mm piece of string.
I thought that's how jubilee clips were sold. If laid out itd need to be at leat 275mm?
