    Hi mate, Pirtek sell rubber reducers. Mine was a 4" to 3" reducer and I'm sure you could get 3" to 2".

    You'll to have to get a short piece of two inch pipe (metal or plastic). Slide that into the flexi pipe (clamp) and slide the other end inside the 2" side of the reducer and clamp.

    Then run a 3" pipe (metal or plastic) out the other side of the reducer (clamp) and into the elbow and (clamp).

    Below is the reducer I used for the 3" outlet on the GU air filter to the 4" stainless steel on the snorkel.

    I would try a Pirtek store for that or Purple Pig or a truck pasrts shop or something like that.

    yeah it was. the little plastic clips were broken, i could see wear marks where it had been attached and when the mechanic ran the ohm meter over it, it showed "open circuit". and when he replaced it, the problem went and car was fine. I have spoken to Wholesale and they are happy to refund if i post it back.

    I did some checking around today, not much luck. I will use your method AB and make it up out of bits i can get lol. will get some pics as i put it together. The main problem is how to deal with the massive bolts thru the pillar! id like to get some brackets that can utilise the the same holes at the least. Will keep you posted...

    As i said above, i have just fitted a nomad aftermarket recalibrated valve body to my auto.
    As ive said, in the proccess of finding an auto fault i had the gear box pulled down and thouroughly inspected by Steve Watkins Automotive- Automatic transmission Specialist(i am very satisfied with the service). Upon inspecting it he found that it was in VERY good condition and recomended getting one of these valve bodies.
    Well, i have been driving it for 3 days and i highly recomend it!. It shifts so good! So lively!
    I just took the trol home the "long way" tonight (a very windy gravel track called "the Zig Zag") and the auto was amazing.
    I have attached the invoice if anyone is interested. (notice that a temp sender is included in the price, it isnt normally needed)
