L322 V8 4.4 Petrol..... PCV replacement?

jimmacD · Feb 17, 2021

Hi all!
Posted this question a while back..... "where can I get PCV for my RR?"
Various replies from the old guard on here saying... "UK models didn't have a PCV." I have heard very little about PCV changing on this site, mine has a PCV, other groups such as Volvo it seems every second post is about PCV issues and changing?
Are they less problematic than other makes or is it "outta sight, outta mind?"
Can I use the cheaper BMW PCV, don't think you can just peel off the back on the RR and swap the diaphragm as you can with BMW part? Cheers for any info.

I got one from eBay. It’s been in nearly two years now with no problems.

Yep, had that one on watch list for a few months... from Germany. Just wondered if the BMW X5, 5 and 7 series could be used, more around in UK and cheaper?

Seems straightforward enough? The only flies in the ointment are working around the LPG plumbing and trying not to pull the pipe out of the throttle body when I remove the PCV. I am going to do the cam covers gaskets and plugs at the same time which might give me another inch of wriggle room. I don't have any PCV issues and only changing it for peace of mind. I have been working through the old girl... stage zero and preventative maintenance as I do with all my cars.
