I've been having a further explore around my engine bay and have found a few puzzling bits...

 

What this connector for?

 

 

What should this (badly!) capped hose coming from the balance bar be for?

 

 

(Yes that is an inch of pipe and a screw cable tied it, and yes it leaks as I have found out!

 

Also, what the hell is this thing thats disconnected by the bonnet catch, dont remember my old one having it but it appears to be some pipe that runs through the bonnet catch area but no hoses plugged onto either end of it, although the electrical connecter still appears to be connected.

First is boost sensor i believe 99.9%

 

Second look at the pic carbon canister may have been deleted check for boost hose under the left hand throttle body

 

Down by the bonnet catch looks like air con has gone maybe and pipes are still there as well as connector for air con fan IIRC

Not for the boost sensor as my car doesnt have one being a 95, they loost the standard boost gauge. Ive beent old its the AIV?

 

Ah right thats for the aircon stuff - my old one must have had it then, and yes sadly the aircon has been junked on this car :( Silly really since its a slicktop, woudlnt have minded too much if i coudl take the roof off!

Yeah there is AIV in that area but i dont remember it having any electrical connector. If the carbon canister has been dumped the AIVs probably have too

Gonzo is right, the first is a boost sensor connector. although you dont have a gauge, the loom still has the connector for it
