I've just bought a cheap Corsa on Ebay and should be collecting it at the weekend. In this pic of the engine, should there be a heat shield on the exhaust manifold, and should there be a hose connected to the spigit that is visible just below the air box? If yes, what exactly is missing, and will it make any difference? Cheers
