unknown unit
QUESTION: hi, I apologise for the delay, I never had access to my pc/camera cable. I had a look and the engine and what you said was correct about the horn. This unit is situated above the radiator, some kind of air intake.I have added a picture of this. I tried attaching all images but I believe I can only add one image. I hope by adding the picture you'll be able to mentally trace where the pipe connects to the intake duct housing. Thank you 4 your assistance and once again I apologise 4 the the delay - Thanks - Neil
ANSWER: Look under the front of the car, just above the driveshaft is a black box mounted at 45 degrees with (hopefully) two pipes going to it, your pipe connects to the available nozzle on this box.

pipes on intake duct h
QUESTION: Hi, I've added another picture of the 2 pipes on the intake duct housing so as you know for certain the 2 pipes I'm on about - the one that is disconnected is the pipe on the right and is about 8" in length x I've had a look 4 the little box you mentioned and found nothing that resembles it x do you know what it's called so that I could have a look in the manual - cheers
Answerwill it be easier to email the pics, I'm not getting them.

These are vacuum-lines, vacuum pipes.
If you have the manual you're sorted, sorry I didn't give the terminology first.
