Believe me if it broke dont fix it , its a right pig to get out and even a bigger pig to get back in, even after a slight modification.

I have cut one open and there isn't anything inside to block up, just oil/ airways.

whilst doing some bits on the landy today i had a quick look at the breather
i see what u mean now
so pleased i won't be going anywhere near that
noticed a small tyre type valve at the back of the engine , that looks like the fuel pipe system, put a tyre valve cap on it, is that ok to do that
aplogises asking dim questions

appreciate it
have learnt a lot in the short time of owning the D3
know i wouldn't have got as far with the great people off this forum
as i've never owned a disco
still makes me smile every time i drive it , imagine the D4 is even nicer to drive
