Using the wrong clamps and overtightening them is the cause of that failure.

Yeah that clamp looks far too brutal for that intake arm. It's not mega tough - or thick - rubber!

Jesus H Christ alive... :-O

If cars could type, it'd be writing a thread entitled 'fecking new owner!'

A regular jubilee clip will suffice, and are available in Halfords or from any competent mechanic; most motoring enthusiasts will have a good stock too.

Have you checked your engine mounts? Its moving a bit to break that

Is that the standard intake? Why such a big clamp?

Also looks like you need one for the smaller vac pipe whilst you are doing them

Whats that next to the throttle adjustment, if its a hose it looks damaged?

LOL! That's one of those Mikalor heavy duty clamps. We use them at work to secure piping that runs 3-4 bar of water pressure. All you need is a standard Jubilee clamp and just nip it tight.
