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

While we're on the subject ...... Laughing ....Just a question, does the breather have to be removed if you needed to try and remove the rear 2 glow plugs ?

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 Big Cry Big Cry

so pleased i won't be going anywhere near that Bow down

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
