Have tracked down a bloody Irritating rattle to my airbox lid, one of the bolt holes has been snapped off!

Any idea where I could get a new (ish) one

Tried everywhere I could think of on the internet but still no luck and they cost a fortune from the dealers as you need the full airbox

Any ideas?

Also while looking i noticed the airbox hose has a very strange thing attached to the side of it, whats that for?

Probably a resonator chamber mate... all modern cars require them for noise abatement regulations

If you are still having probs with the airbox bring it over and we can try and fix it together, there is a damn good tutorial on http://www.alfa156.net/ Look under the tips heading for "changing air filter with rusty bolts"
Chemical metal is a very good thing to use :lol:... I live in Brandon, 2 miles from Durham City BTW

Try bells auto salvage at West Auckland, they always seem to have a few alfa's in:thumbs:

None in at the moment but will keep ringing them.
Its not life or death, the rattle p's me off but it only does it on start-up
