25mm sounds right but the nearest pipe is 22mm :( Though I am not sure if this is internal or external diameter? I will probably end up replacing it anyhow but just want to help it get to my friends around 90 miles away who can help me replace it ;)

Guessing so grober ;) I know some in the states have done this but they mention 1" Pipe Nearest we have is 22mm but not sure if 22mm is inside or outside diameter? 1inch = about 25mm if 22mm is inside diameter I guess outside could be 25mm? 28mm would be too big :doh:

I am finally getting on track with my car and after curing a few issue i noticed a hissing sound coming from the dash :dk: Turned out it was coming from the headlight adjuster. Now i have had this dash apart a few times but so had somebody before me :eek: I have had those lines off and put...

After months of my 230e playing up not charging the battery I have finally found out why I want to repair this myself but need a little advice and a list of things I need? In short it's my alternator lead,the exciter wire has a break in it causing an open circuit it literally makes or...
