iirc its something fitted to aid low emissions??? correct me if im wrong.

anyway, its located in the drivers side wing/front bumper you have to remove the arch liner to get to it. was going to take it out today but typically i got changed got my tools out and it leathered it down

i blocked them both iirc correctly as said earlier i removed the rear white breather pipe back to the tank where iirc it spilt into two and i just removed and front one...other just removed and block hole into manifold..

i think that right was a while ago...two years...or so..
