Well, I finally got the car back and got round to taking those pics:
This is the actual catch tank and its plumbing:



And the other end of the venting pipe:



And this is a shot of the TIP, I know its not a great pic but I cannot see the puck thing to plumb into...



Could the puck bit not be there?

Cheers
Aaron

Yeah, having had a good look at all the pics from yours and others I headed out to look at mine and got a bit confused!
The problem is I don't know what half the pipes going into/around the TIP are. What is the hockey puck thing as I cannot see it anywhere!
Looks like I am staying venting to atmosphere for now sadly.

On another note, I left it a bit long between changes and it got quite full and was frozen. Its still thawing now! gonna have to pop it back on tomorrow.
