Foam air filter

No such luck mate - it's more in the 'Chav Up Yer Motor @ Argos' category.

The pipe to the TB/airflow meter thingy is held on with duct tape and zip ties which probably isn't helping either.

Does it need oiling once its dry - although if I'm going to buy oil I might as well wait till I can afford a new induction kit.
 
Thanks Steve.
I'll give the cleaning a go - I've got the UKC hoodies to pay for in the reasonably near future and still trying to save up for some wheels so if I can patch it up for now that will help.
