I had a similar problem when I got a new one of these for mine. Have a good look at your original part, there should be a part number on there, give it to the dealer and they should be able to get you the correct version.

Get the proper one from the dealer! Around £12 IIRC.
You have a straight ICV, and the boot you've obtained is for a L shaped ICV.
You also have the branch for the old type servo pipe arangement. Later boots don't have this branch.

Never asked for any, even most obscure, part that isn't available yet.

Just a little hijack here....

That old type servo arrangement looks just like mine - should I be worried that the servo pipes seem quite free to pull out of the inlet manifold? They sometimes move 2-3 mm out, but don't drop out - and I've never pulled them off just to see - but should they be sitting tighter in place?
