Breather T piece

[mantianak]

Just spent the afternoon removing the whole inlet manifold for a good old clean. I discovered while doing so that the T peice on the crank case breather pipe is split. Looks like it has been for a while jidging by the mucky oil around the pipe.

Does anybody know what the part number is? Or better yet, how to make an improved mod?

I made a T piece up from some 10 mm copper plumbing fittings and pipe off-cuts . It was a while ago now, but I think a bit of insulating tape was required to make a snug fit .

about £20 from rimmers :)

Thanks Ian saved me looking :)

I only know because i changed all of mine a month ago because they were all brittle. Costs around £50 to do them all :mad:

Yep that's the part, this is what I found on removing the engine cover of my car a while back

And as you can see the T Piece had broken completely at the junction to the top hose

So I bought Part No: LLH102660
"Hose-camshaft cover to throttle body breather - 12mm - cam cover to
throttle"

which cost £13.70 inc VAT from my local Rover dealer (They said the T-Peice on it's own was not available)

And once fitted you can see the improvement

Shame you have to buy the entire hose assembly just to replace the plastic connector.

Thanks guys. Mine snapped in the same way. £50 does seem a bit steep. I may look for some silicone alternatives, but I expect that would be just as expensive.

£18:07p inc Vat + deilvery :)

Ah - misunderstood previous post. £50 for them all. £18 isn't too bad.
