Apparently you are better off running the breathers to vent to atmosphere.
I could fit it for you but i am not local.

Jesus Christ. Seriously guys, if you cant follow the instuctions i put on the other thread, then you do really need someone to install it for you. I would be surprised if a dealer would do it, well in a tidy fasion anyway.

Do you know where the rockers covers are?

If you do, can you see a black plastic part on the top of the covers with a 1/2 inch pipe sticking up from them. They are roughly positioned over pistons 3 and 4.

Stood at front of car pistons are as follows.
3 4
1 2

Hopefully you will now be able to identify these 2 cam breather pipes.

Now you have found them, follow them with your hand and eyes as far as you can, either under or over the inlet manifold, they will ultimately join together and return to the inlet pipe.

Then follow the rest of the instructions i posted in General Tech.

I have a couple of oil catch tanks with fitting kits, brand new for sale £60. Fitting is a doddle and I would be surprised if you could not fit it yourself. Send me your e-mail address and I will send some photos.

Harvey, they already have catch cans, recently bought in the Group buy i believe.

I posted quite detailed instructions in the general section on how to fit them, and like you am surprised they cant fit them themselves. Perhaps we are too competent/assume its too easy? and my apparant lack of patience above is unjustified.
