Once use clips, they're used under the bonnet on a few Vauxhalls too.

You can usually un-clip it by prising the clasp bit apart with a small screw driver & reclip it together after with a pair of pliers. Or destroy it & use a proper Jublilee clip.  ;) ;)

It's known a the 'effing nuisance' clip and is the reason a good mechanic always has a good supply of jubilee clips.

well i thought a pocket screwdriver in to the slot and a bit of prying would get it ''open''. no chance. going to cut it and replace with a jubilee  :y

I usually just take a pair of side cutters to the 'sticky-uppy-boxy-bit' and they come off easily.

Its called something like Click-R. I have a tool here, was around £7 IIRC.  Same ones used on Omega breathers, assuming DLK hasn't been in there ;D

Can usually lever the clip/hook end off with a screw driver. Then a pair of pincer pliers to do them up. Very awkward though, and needs the proper tool.
