    I'll get one later for you after work and post it.  They were all standard clips bought in a pack from halfords and then i got one big one (100mm if i remember right) separately for where it joins the air filter housing.  I'm assuming you mean the air breather hose thing?

    The clips are broken on mine as well and I use a couple of cable ties to hold it on, wrapped around whatever I can like the rigid pipe and yellow plastic thing in the top picture above.  Just have to put on new ones every time I do an air or oil filter change.

    Buy a new hose off eBay, cheaper than the Ford part and will have working clips, they are easily damaged though. Think I paid around 30 quid for the replacement air intake hose with the breather hose attached.

    Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252917043994

    Even cheaper although I may have paid less than 30 quid for mine, just seemed to ring a bell.
