Crank Case Breather Pipe. A solution at last.
I know more than one or two of you have been trying to repair/replace the Crank Case Breather pipe. Mine snapped on my XKR and I have been looking to sort out the problem for some time.
I have managed to fix mine and find a possible solution to replacing the pipe itself. The fix write up is a long one and is pic heavy, easy to do though.
So if you have this problem take a look at my possible solution

Hope this helps someone.

I have never looked at mine what are the symptoms of the crack/split?
Does the pipe tend to split in the same place, due to heat etc, on most cars?
If so it looks like it might be possible to fit the heat shrink without removing the whole pipe, what do you think? Or would the pipe be liable to split again, in a different place, if bent too much?

I actually removed mine as I was trying to find a replacement pipe. I put up the how to remove because someone may wish to remove theirs for what ever reason, and the pipe could break in a spot you cannot get to. Also gives you a chance to clean the throttle body.

Keep going................ only 128 more to go!
To be honest when I started that thread I had no idea that others would be following it and the information, feedback and advice I have had from you guys has been remarkable.
My original intention was a simple aide-memoire so I could keep track on what I had done. But after 2,272 replies and 124,552 views its grown to much more than that.
Still a lot to do...................

2003 thru 2005 XK8 Breather Pipes
Jaguar has in their infinite wisdom discontinued certain parts for 10 year old vehicles, among them the breather pipes for XK8 4.2L engines. In the very near future I will be able to supply brand new AJ87221 Full Load and AJ88622 Part Load breather pipes for 4.2L XK8s to OEM specs and for the XKRs shortly thereafter. If your Norma V2 connector ends are still okay and not cracked, you can just send them to me to install on a new pipe. If you have an interest please contact me at vanremog@aol.com for details.

Anyway its sorted. Been over a year and, touch wood etc, worked really well and actually looks like its been on there since the car was new.

Breather Pipe from pcv valve
Hi everyone, I'm a new member although have enjoyed reading contributions recently. I own an XK8 (2003) and a Mark 2 240 1968. Formerly owned a 1973 E Type roadster and an XJ (2012). as i already posted there is a problem is sourcing supplies of the breather pipe part number AY88622 (formerly AJ83931 or AJ83920 I think). I saw a post from Frankc dated 2016 which links to a write up of a solution but the write up is no longer available. Can anyone contribute an up to date solution on this?
By the way I have a unique solution to Fuel tanks imploding which I will post at some time.
Thanks
Stephen
