I went to check the air filter on my new-to-me Disco and the clamp on the right (see pic - near throttle body intake hose - i think that's what it's called) didn't fully open as it was blocked by a radiator hose (see pic.) So, I decided to pull up in hopes of clearing the hose. 'Not a good idea! It cracked the molded plastic hinge on the cover. Oops.
Other than that, all the other clamps seem pretty tight and the hose sits at least 1/2" into it, so I don't think it will loose any significant suction, so I'm not worried much, but I will replace the air filter cover sooner rather than later.

I thought my BMW 325i was tight under the hood. The DII seems even more so.

I had mine break like that too. I put a 1" c-clamp on it. It's been on there for 100,000 miles now. Not really the best way to fix it but it works.

Yip, my '03 as well, the PO practically destroyed the whole cover and air intake hose. I had to replace everything and got the air cleaner box and hose for under $100 on eBay. They are pretty scarce in a whole state though. The new parts cleared my error codes though, so I'm happy with that.
