Must be a slight difference then?, I am not an expert sure someone else may be able to explain why there is a difference.

Must stop you going out on Dundee Cruses if you are going to come back asking questions. ;D ;D ;D

The item is called a filter and is in the air con line. Yours may be further along the pipe or even towards the radiator.

Just been out for a look, followed the pipe as far as the eye could see and nothing. It's a bit wet to get down under it so will check 2moro to see if it is underneath.

This is mine

Does your air con work? Why would anyone go to the effort of replacing the pipe with the wrong one? :-/

Cheaper? I bet the metal one with filter costs more than 50p....

Agreed. But I bet it was harder to get hold of the wrong hose than it would have been to get the correct hose
