fitting breather pipe

[spitfire06]

I put a post on the other day regarding some idling problems.Acting on advice from the forum I located the problem to a split in the breather pipe that feeds from the rocker cover and around the back of the engine and then splits into two parts.Anyway just wondering how hard the pipe is to fit it looks a bit awkward.The part itself is only £20 so dont really want to pay a stealer £60 to fit it

This pipe comes coupled with another pipe (a coolant pipe), so you have two options; replace both pipes (lose coolant etc and have to refill bleed system) or carefully cut the rubber banding around the two hoses and just replace the split breather.
To access the hose(s) you need to remove the microfilter then undo the 4 captive T30 screws that hold the microfilter housing to the bulkhead, then lift the housing out.
The rocker cover end of the pipe is just push fit, the other end will go to the manifold and have a jubilee clip - just slacken to reomove.
Refit all parts removed and you're done - £60 saved!!

You forgot the slight issue of having a stored fault code and adaptation values reset.

The fuelling will be compromsed so it will need the above sorting out!

Any idea of cost for the resets mate?

In an ideal situation you would have the adaption values reset and the fault code cleared. If I were you though I wouldn't bother, the DME will change the additive and multiplicative adaption values itself after a couple of drive cycles, the whole point of adaptive engine management fuelling is that it is able to compensate for all sorts of fluctuations be that poor fuel or low air density. Ultimately it's up to you of course, I don't recall you saying that the MIL lamp was on so clearing the fault code won't have a noticable effect.
