Sorry, I'm very inexperienced with al this car maintainance stuff...
On my car, there is a pipe that goes from the unit that contains the air filter to the exhast manifood, its a metal kind of pipe, but even so its gone all brittle from the heat, and its all torn at the ends and really its only just hanging on.
What does this pipe do? will I damage the car if I don't fix it asap? is it easy to fix? what should I ask for at the parts store?
Car is a '95 Punso SX 1.1 fuel injection
Also, want to do an oil and filter change because its overdue, years ago when my dad used to service his own cars he used to after filling it up with oil, disconnect the main HT lead and turn the engine over to get the oil around it before starting, not sure if this was ever the 'right' way to do things? But I'm guessing that if I tried that with my car than I might break the cat converter and cause it to fail its next MOT?
So what should I do?, just drain it, put the plug bak in, swap the filter and fill back up with the right amount,? or are there steps I should do in between

) There are different sizes so take it in and compare.
