I'm looking forward to getting my hands dirty and seeing what the outcome is. the smoke issue is a bit embarrassing, specially when there's a convertible behind...
lol,
,, don't worry when things get taken apart and new parts fitted u will begin to learn how to maintain and understand the engine better wont be so scary then and u will soon know how to service and look after them

Have you not pulled that pipe off the IRD breather yet? That should stop the smoking.I'm looking forward to getting my hands dirty and seeing what the outcome is. the smoke issue is a bit embarrassing, specially when there's a convertible behind...
many thks , as u look at the black hose , i can see it drops down , where is the end for that please , that should go up and connect to the filter that is missing , has that hose dropped down somewhere plse
plus looking i'm wondering now where that oil splatter is coming from ???

from the pic, where u fitted the new blue hose, you've got a black one also connected, that should go up the back of the engine and up to the top of the engine to atmosphere , the filter that's missing will go onto that black pipe
have u taken any more pics plse to show where the pipes go near the top
most likely just the rocker cover gasket weeping , don't worry we can have a look
I was talking to you about that on the phone and took it off of the IRD to test and you said to reconnect it back to the IRD to prevent any particles of dirt going down the pipe, so I pushed it back on the IRD.
When the filter comes tomorrow or Saturday I will remove it from the IRD pipe and push on the filter, if that's a good idea unless I should do something about it now?

ah , didn't realise it was connected to that , cross purposes , please remove it and cable tie it somewhere and open to atmosphere ,
have u a pic plse by any chance ,
yes please remove it now if u can
yes please , i wonder if the vaccum is enough to suck air out of the ird breather and dump it into the turbo solonoid valve or junk it up
assume that has always been like that since u owned it
don't worry i think i will be taking a few parts off, lol
