cheers fella much appreciated but how do i find out if its a my98 or my99 ????

 

I have just done mine, easy enough just have patience though. I managed to lift the inlet manifold a bit and push the pipe through, not as easy as it sounds.
But then found out the it was to long, so need to trim it, nightmare.

 

Yes, you have a MY1998 (manufactuted between Sep 97 to Aug 98) car; 'E' being the MY98 designation. So the pipe you need is the longer 'L'-shaped one:-
