New piston ring seal and gasket now mean it works properly again.

After owning my car for over 3 years, I got sick of the EML being on because of the fuel PCV. And for the sake of £12. Which I ordered and don't remember buying while I was in hospital and found on my laptop table today, decided it was time to go and fit it. Wish I had done this sooner. what a difference this ridiculous little valve has made.

Ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fuel-Tank-Breat...2749.l2649

The price has gone up a bit since I bought mine though. But the part number and all the information is in that link. Hope it helps.

by the way, have you sold Oscar V8 yet ?

must be MOT time coming up again

MOT nothing to do with it I got myself in a really bad financial position with the ML as I had to use pay assist at £211 per month for 4 payments, then my dog died and the insurance company only covered £100 of the over £500 bill as we took our suffering dog to an out of hours which is a big no no according to them Then I cracked a wheel, £88, viscous fan on Tank packed up, £30, and a few other emergencies which nearly pushed me over the limit financially. Oscar should sail through his MOT, and now although I am dead close to tipping over the edge, I only need to get through to April, then I will be fine again. So Oscar isn't actually for sale anymore. I would still be trying to sell him hard and fast if I needed to put more money in the cars, but reality is, I am having surgery again in a few weeks, I have enough fuel for what I need for now, and after my surgery, none of my cars will driven by me for 2-3 weeks, although shut my business for 4 weeks after surgery anyway to give me time to recover. That will bring me right up to date with me money thankfully. And currently mostly using the campervan as the daily runaround when it doesn't involve work errands as it is surprisingly good on fuel. Saying that, I have been using Oscar for some journeys, including the monthly food shop yesterday which was a nice 35 mile round trip.

The only car I am freaking out about the MOT on now is the C-Max. Oscar isn't due until March.

I have been a little quieter than normal about my V8, That is because a whole new drama, sadly not one I haven't had to deal with twice before on other vehicles, has come to light.

Oscar has a CLONE at the moment somewhere in the UK. Brought to my attention at first by the insurance company who requested a copy of the V5 to prove that I had the real car. They already had other information from the accident in July. But some idiot or victim tried to take out an insurance policy using my cars details, with some variation in information, that variation has not been told to me for DPA reasons, but it was enough to flag up an issue, authorities notified and not interested until the car is caught being used in a crime! Then yesterday, I got an alert to say my car was no longer taxed! I thought this to be very strange as it is actually taxed until September 2020. So very long conversation with VOSA/DVLA, and it turns out that someone decided to apply for the logbook for my car, I guess to obtain a legitimate copy for the clone. Anyway.... long stressful day finished with the logbook application being blocked, Tax re-instated on my car, and now can't do jack until the clone is used in a crime! I hope it is at least an interesting crime to make the upcoming stress worth while. It has been flagged anyway, but no idea where in the UK it is. Exactly why I hide my reg online, so I guess it has been cloned by someone who has seen it in person.

Next on the list though is, I need to sort out my insurance renewal.

Mine was cloned. Luckily for me they didn't seem to understand what speed cameras are for (manned ones) and I had ANPR proof from work that my RR was parked 300+ miles away from the crime  Land Rover Addict

Not fun is it. Not had any speeding tickets as yet. Luckily my V8 has a tracker on it and CCTV so can show where the actual car is, however got friends around the UK who know my reg number looking out for it. I know the clone is Black and not Blue, and as the police are not interested in resolving this, after the number plates are removed from the clone when it is found, the clone will be being permanently disabled But for the next week at least I plan on not using the V8.

As a matter of interest is your plate a private one? Apparently they prefer to clone private plates because automated identification systems are keyed to the more usual "modern" registration plate layout. Mine, for example, is only 6 digits. Land Rover Addict

Yes mine is a private plate, and 6 digits.

That's why then - annoying but true! Land Rover Addict

I can't say that I am not enjoying the hunt though

Hunt over, I can honestly say, they won't be using that car to clone anyone elses again the number plates have been retrieved and are being hand delivered to me later tonight pending the weather, so might be tomorrow that they come, so at least I will get a pair of free number plates But relieved that Oscars black twin is no more. The clone was found yesterday on the outskirts of Leeds after it was spotted then followed by some good friends. Now just to wait to see if I get any fines through. But in celebration, I treated Oscar to a bath.
