thank you for your replied.

and nice picture and nice setup.

So is the end of the hose (under the servo side) left open, or is there any attachment connected to it?

Yeah, I’m having the same issue. In addition to the leakage from the mini air filter, there’s also smoke coming out of it.

I was thinking of modifying it to have two mini air filters, but after seeing your post, I’m considering trying your setup instead.

thank you.

Pipe literally just hangs there open to atmosphere.
When I first owned the car it used to snot up the air filter with gunk from the breather pipe, I was thinking oh oh k motor has had it, so I got one of them oil catch tanks, total waste of money in that small size.
I binned the catch tank and have ran the open pipe for over 10 years now.

That is easy to setup and give it a try.

Thanks..

Alright, yes, I am also looking for alternative options.

Your idea and setup are really great and awesome! Even better than what a Land Rover engineer could come up with! hehehe


Anyway, I will give a try.

thank you so much

Hi lynall

Feedback:

After testing, this setup really works, and I now understand the theory. When using the oil catch can, the fitting pipe was too small, which caused pressure (blowby) to build up because the smaller pipe (10mm) couldn't release it properly. After replacing it with an 18mm hose, there are no more leaks, and everything runs smoothly now... hehe.

thank you so much;-)
