Yeah I used oil resistant stuff but cully got some nice blue silicone stuff and his works and looks awsome.
I will eventually buy some nice blue silicone too but need other things done first. 

Yeah exactly mate, I had plenty left over too.  :cool:

cheers, was just confused as to how the new hose attaches to the sump breather but managed to work it out,

also could the original Y breather pipe be used as a T piece, got an AGU myself, gona do this soon, just need some suitable breather pipe/fittings etc


I don't know if it can or not, as I have an Aum, But, here is a link that provides everything you need except the catch can. It is what I used. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330521993834?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

That is if you have 19mm catch can ins and outs or fittings

i used this stuff too works perfect just send them a message if you want an extra elbow and they will put an extra quid on the postage and throw it in!!!

also i just got a bit of rubber hose and put it onto the inlet/outlets and tightened the 19mm pipe onto that, works perfect and looks bang on  :wink:

the coloured silicone can be quite expensive if you want it oil fuel specific i just used normal silicone hose as the ones on my car were near enough 14 year old so figured its gotta be better if it perishes in a few years then il just replace chances are the hose will probably outlast the car now  :grin:

The pipe is quite thick and sturdy isn't it. I found them to be very helpful too. I phoned them up and asked them to send the hose clips (without the holes in) and they did. Very accommodating chaps!

removes all the old pipework which can breakdown and split over time, replaces it with new pipework and the can also stops oil vapour building in the chamber which can apparently reduce the octane rating of fuel
