Hi Guys,
Eventually I got it changed. Thanks a lot for your help. Here is a photo of the old one. Could it be that it has more power again now? Anyone reckoned that?
Btw, forgot to mention that it clicked in, no new groove on my '02 one needed.
Kind regards
Matthias

Hi Nick, I hope you realise that if I had any knowledge to share I would do so gladly. I am very new to this game and i defiantly come in to the bracket of a Knowledge taker. If I ever have a bit of info I can share with you all I will, it may be a long time in coming and we will probably all be talking about a land rover hover car by then. In the meantime I appreciate all the help I receive from you all as without it I would be in a real pickle. So thanks to you all.

Hi if the offers still open I'd like to take you up on it, I've been meaning to do that for a while and this thread has convinced me!
If you want to pm me details for payment if it's still available.
Cheers

Can someone just clarify for me the terms crank case breather and Pcv are they the same thing? So by replacing my original filter for the the BMW cyclone type am I changing my pcv?!! Thanks ! :-/

Yep! I did ours this evening with the bmw part but one of the fuel return T peices broke. Collecting a new set in the morning!

Mine looked similar but with more oil dripping off!!
Had to trim a slight bit of plastic from the housing to fit the BMW part but other wise its straight forward.
Be ready for the little plastic T pieces for the fuel injector return lines to snap though. they really are in the way and are brittle.
Mine snapped Friday night, TH White managed to take my order and get them delivered to the dealership by 8.30 on the Saturday morning. Ideal! I have seen people replacing them with brass parts that look shiny as well.

Bit of thread resurrection here but, for much cheapness from ebay, will this do my TD4...?
Just trying to get all the wee annoying jobs knocked off.

That's only half of the breather system.

My Brother in law is a LR mechanic, he mentioned changing the filter for the BMW cyclone part before I end up with a con-rod through the block. Where is the PC Valve in relation to the filter...?

That's bollocks. You'll only get a rod through the side of the block (broken crank actually) because BMW cheaped out on the cranks. BMW cars using the M47 had steel cranks. The M47 supplied to Rover/ LR used much cheaper cast iron cranks. That's the real reason they randomly fail, which is nothing to do with the breather. Although it is advisable to change the PCV valve, but not to improve crank life.

lol... I won't quote your reply to him, he's been there over 30 years. If my crank goes now, I'll just put that down to the 183k on the clock and the fact that it has a 2500ft climb to work most weeks.
I take it the PC Valve is in behind the three bolts at the other end of the top casing, or does it require the whole top part to be replaced...?
