   So last night my PAS pipe burst! Biggest surprise ever! Ahah.
   
   So how hard is it to fit and how long?
   
   Thanks everyone

   It's pretty easy to swap, just follow the burst pipe to the rack. The only nightmare is you might have to do it by feel depending on which pipe.

   Also, is it okay to drive still, I have unplugged it now but just need to know.
   
   Thanks again

   Easy to remove the inlet which helps or you can get it from underneath. You can drive it without PAS but you want as much out the system and strong arms!!

   Is your car lowered? You might want to bend the pipe out of the way if it is once you've replaced it
