Just wondered if anyone has experience of fitting an oil catch tank to their Freelander, whatever the engine, and whether it was worth it.
Oil catch tank.

I'm thinking of fitting one to my Td4 due to the amount of oil drawn in to the manifold.

Where would you plumb it in though? In theory I thought the cyclone style breather valve did the same job anyway of condensing the oil and returning it?
Where is the oil coming from? Most turbo chargers will spray a fine mist of oil into the inlet tract which has seeped out the compressor oil seal. If this is the case, an oil catch tank won't work.

Hello Nodge68,
My name is Renald. Please could you give an idea on how to connect an Oil Catch Can to my Freelander 2.5 V6? I have read on connection of the PCV valve to the input of the can, but I can't find such a valve in my car in order to find the hose. Which oil breather pipe (there are two, 1 is going to throttle body and 1 is going to inlet manifold) I should connect to the oil catch tank? Thanks a lot before hand.
I can explain where to fit it yes, however it's better to start your own thread on the subject. This is done out of politeness to the OP and to make it easier for someone else who might be interested in the subject find the information.
Oh and it's worth introducing your self in the new members section as folks like some background information about you

That's the thing, I was asking whether anyone else had done it so I could find out whether it would be worth doing.Basically drawing on someone elses experience. I remember seeing one fitted to a Td4 at Billing a few years ago but can't remember what stand or retailer it was on.

I had a look at mine when I had it out and couldn't suss it. Only because I have a spare unused catch tank I never got around to fitting on my Paj.
