It wasn't anything to do with a test that's why I was asking if it was a new addition. My point was the engine ran at high revs in neutral (yes something wrong with the engine) but it blew up after a minute.

I hope I can have a While U Wait then.

I have been present at the old tests with the pipe down the exhaust but I was OK with the revs then. If it's still the same that'll be OK.

If it's just for modern diesels then I can now sleep peacefully.

Just wondering if they differentiate between a BMW M3d and an old 300tdi. Also the memo makes me wonder if they have blown a few up.

Never heard of this before, so maybe thay have thrashed the F out of in in neutral before. I really don't like the sound of it as I once had a diesel which ran away and blew up and that was only for less than a minute!

Do you know what revs and for how long? My station is now closed otherwise I would call them.

Just received this message from my MOT testing station. 'Please note that as part of the MOT test, Diesel engines are run at high revolutions for sustained periods of time, it is important to be aware of the condition of your diesel engine, especially with regard to things like camshaft drive...

Yes I have all sorts connected. It doesn't go anywhere, just tied to the cables as you noticed and it had a screw in the end. Just doing some work at present when I noticed the pipe so it is a bit untidy. I bought it in 2006. It only had 36k on it and it's still in great condition except from...

Not a great image but with my crappy camera it's the best I can do. The black thing on the right is the air cleaner box.

Thanks, I will pop out and take one in a few mins. Not much to see though as it's completely broken off, just a stub remaining.

No, I didn't say it wasn't a fair question. I did say Oops (I forgot) and sent the reply with the details of my vehicle afterall.

After. On the large turbo hose directly behind the filter housing.

I thought you might have an idea. Maybe not.

Oops 300tdi, 1997 Defender. I think a lot of vehicles have these but they don't say what they're for.

Anyone know what the small tube is for, which is connected to the top of the air cleaner hose directly behind the filter housing? Mine goes across the bulkhead and is open ended. Have searched in previous comments but can't see anything.

Did yopu ever find out where that pipe went? I have the same issue.

Has anyone got one of these compressors? I know absolutely nothing about compressors but I want to buy a Black & Decker BD 195/6 for some general work on my Defender. My question is what size fittings will it take? I think it could be 1/4" BSP but I am not sure and the manual and details on...
