fit an oil trap between the breather and the throttle body to stop gunking up.

I'm hoping mine will be the same story. It's a rescue dog and no mistake, but so far I haven't had a repeat failure on anything I've replaced. I also check fluids every day - which everyone should be doing anyway!!
Nice idea
, any bolt on kits or would it be a custom job?

.Update guys, just drove to work (Hull tonight) maintained a steady 65/70mph all the way, minimal power loss, last thing I did today was a minor de-coke, bit of a trick my old man shown me years ago, cause a problem to clear **** build up, I tried all sorts but in the end I disconnected the temp sensor, freebie ran like ****, close to cutting out, persisted with revs for a few mins & got a lot of black **** come out exhaust, result is smoother running, still need to get power up properly any ideas on how to do a proper de-coke

Use the expensive fuel from a proper petrol station, and thrash the **** out of it once in a while, that usually cleans em out! Or do it the old fashioned way remove cylinder head, remove valves clean everything by hand, put back together, refit head, job done! I'd try the first method
also as said clean inside throttle body!

They do a visual inspection on the mot now not just emissions check after I think 98? So if it ain't there its a fail now
usually screws em up cos they're programmed to run with the back pressure then suddenly it's not there!

The expensive stuff has a lot more detergent in it no need to run it all the time just a tank full every now and then, I'd guess the previous owner just pottered round put cheap supermarket fuel in and has done more harm than good! Decent fuel and motorway driving should clean it out!
