Is there a replaceable PCV on the V8?
Passenger Carrying Vehicle:p
Thanks chief, just it tells you to renew every 6 years on the MGR service sheets & as I have no history for this car I'm working through doing the lot, saying that it's not pressurising so must be working
I believe the recommendation is not to renew it :cool:
They take all of a few minutes to replace, and I would think its a worth while thing to do, but probably a clean out of the old one might be good enough. They;re just a ball valve on a light spring that open with sufficient manifold pressure. If they get stuck open then may make idle lumpy I think.
they dont cost much - I think real steel in Uxbridge sell them.
I seeeeeeee so is that where the breather hose attaches to the throttle body? I'd like to clean it out at least, then there's just the gearbox oil & diff oil to do then I have a fresh starting point to work from as I think although generally the car seems to have been well cared for I think servicing may have slipped by the wayside this last year
No, PCV valve sits on the rocker cover and is a twist fit

Throttle body is this thing, called IAC-valve

Ahhhhhhh I should have known it's the same idea as the old Colgne V6, thanks for that
As usual, a very helpful and informative post from Herman there. Nice one! :applause
Not sure where you're based 2Diesels but Nick at Austin Garages (Burton-on-Trent) may have some in stock, which I brought him from the US when I had mine changed.
