Basically its all mounted in and its sitting at the right height and everything, but the bottom of the inlet seems to be a bit too low. By this i mean its touching the heater matrix pipe and is about 1.5mm away from the steering rack. Is this normal? If not, what could be causing this?

definately should be higher up, check you have the back mount in the right holes. The linkage for the gearbox is the closest to the steering rack on mine

just read that some are like that and that you just need to chop the heater matrix down a tad or bend it a bit.

I'd cut it back a bit myself

I didn't need to cut mine back and I had lots of clearance. Sounds like its not mounted right tbh.

Some of the later inlets had a thumb shaped bit on the bottom which maybe what is making yours different
