   every time i check under the bonet, the small pipe is hanging out the side!
   any recommendations to keep in it, or to change it for some thing else?
   
   cheers

   A jubilee clip around the pipe? What car is this one?

   jubilee or hose clip should do the job mate.
   only pennies down any car spares shop.

   its on a VTS, the pipe goes in to a hole on the side, so you cant put a clip round the pipe as the pipe is pushed inside!
   its the metal right angle 1 that goes to the engine!

   Get a pair of pliers, and oval the pipe VERY slightly. Wedge it in and it wont come out again.

    I tried the oval thing on mine and it eventually popped out again, now it's wedged in with a small amount of silver foil and that has stayed put for over a year now.

    I had the same problem with mine and i just cut the breather pipe down a little bit and it has stopped it from coming out.
