They are only screwed into plastic, I can't see them being too much trouble to remove.

Just try taking them out. mines were rusty aswell and they came out no bother..i just went to a local scrappy and managed to get decent enough ones there.

I tried going to Renault to get some. Apparently you have to buy the entire airbox.....

So I still have rusty ones lol!

Put plenty of weight over them when opening them to avoid damaging head (ideally a ratchet and torx bit) and then chuck them in some Billt-Hammber deox bath, they'll come up like new.

Obviously this is if the head isn't damage.

I think the best thing to do would be to get some hydrate 80, seen people use it in project threads on here with rust. Cure the rust then give them each a quick blip of hammerite black spray.

Thats what I'm going to do when i get round to it.

Tis true pal. I looked at the parts guy with my "WTF" face on. As he said it was about £200...... Out of the door faster than roadrunner.

Can't you just go to a local hardware store once you've removed one & match it up to what they have in stock?
