Welcome - would be better if you could post a picture - worth a thousand words
Small pipe with a clear plastic filter (looks like a petrol filter)?
Pipe goes in one side and should have nothing attached to the other.
As booboodag says - it should be open!
If yours is blocked off then that is wrong. It is a vent pipe and it will affect the turbo operation.
There are some nice piccys of the filter on the forum - someone will be along soon to point you if you cannot put up a piccy of your own.
This all gets a lot easier if we can see what you mean.

If it is not venting to air then you run the risk of the increase in pressure blowing the turbo seals, and a costly repair bill, just done one for a friend last week cost of £600 for the parts. As for it running ok it normally will, its just the damage that can happen.

I know exactly what thats called ,but cant remember right now I'll need to look at my haynes in the morning light,not got me boots on right now but I'll edit it in here.
According to one of the big LR parts shops in the U.K. it's the EGR air filter ?? Others name it as being the turbo vent. Think it's an air filter on the vacuum system ?
