   Hi everyone!!!
   
   I few months ago i post on here as i was having problems with the immobiliser on my saxo. I had just passed my test and really wasnt sure as to what to do. You were all really wonderfully helpful, and i was hoping you would be able to help me again.
   
   When driving along my saxo sometimes loses power and its now really struggling up hills. I took it to Kwik-Fit as it was thr nearest garage to me and i was concerned about driving it ay further. They said that the Airfilter box kept popping off thereby allowing air to get into the fuel filter and lowering the power. They advised me that i would need a new filterbox, and that i could pick one up cheap (from ebay for about £15.00 - £20.00) however i cant seem to find the official name for this contraption! I have looked everywhere and cannot find it, therefore i cant find the name nor be able to buy it
   
   Would anyone on here be able to tell me the name of this part! I cant drive my saxo and i miss it
   
   Thankyou everyone!
   
   Amy

   Hi Vtrmann,
   
   Thank you for your reply! I have tried looking on ebay but i'm not sure what its called, so haven't been able to find? I was worried (may sound silly) about the tape setting on fire....I really am rubbish ha ha.
