   i've taken some pictures here of my engine bay to help identify the pipe i need to fit my vacuum gauge.
   
   i've been told the pipe i need is the one between the brake servo and the throttle body, but i'm unsure which one this is.
   
   if you're able to look at the picture and describe to me, or even better, add an arrow on the picture by using paint etc, i'll really appreciate it - and i know a few other people on here will as well as they're stuck with it too.
   
   
   
   
   
   thanks again, matt

   excellent guys, really appreciate it.
   
   i've got the same answer from a couple of people now, so i'm confident with the advice!
   
   i've been out on my car for hours now fitting my new centre console and gauges.
   i'm going to have to try B&Q tonight though or halfords as the t-piece i've been provided with is too small for the vacuum pipe.
   
   ah well.
   
   thanks again, matt
