Yet another split hose!

The 156 1.9jtd has been running a bit lumpy of late,
smoking quite a bit, and using More fuel.

Today #1 son had a listen under the bonnet and located the
induction noise as a split in the air intake hose into the
top of the engine.

Not costed it yet, but the last hose - intercooler, at the
bottom of the engine, cost a ridiculous £75 for 18" of
tube!

I don't think the top hose is under as much pressure as the
bottom hose, so hopefully my bicycle puncture repair
patches reinforced with some rubber hose wrapped around and
secured with tie wraps might serve for a while.

Nope - sods law dictates that the split is on a bend in hose
:^(

I did that once! - smashed a mirror on the Galant.
Only cost around a ton though.

Couldn't believe that I'd actually dented the bloody boot lid!
