nope,

kit only allows for it if you have one. basically the engine component air pump is there for a specific purpose, the air filter system is less relevant. if you have removed the air pump thats fine but the filter system wouldnt mean you need it back on.  hope that makes sense anyhoo

basically just cap off the hole on the filter pipe. you can get a rubber cap from b&q or something and use a jubilee clip.

hth

btw how are you mate & the mrs :)

hope to see you both at rotarstock.

we are both OK thanks. Hope Leondina gets better very soon.
We\'re going to go up on the Saturday and camp over at RS4. It\'ll be a really good event. You should both come and camp over too.

we\'re not hardcore campers tbh dont even have a tent yet but this is our even so its a must :wiggle
