Provent D2 would be a good place to start...

I have a second battery in my D2 TD5 and there is no way I can mount the catch can above the sump drain.

The only possible place IMHO is down over the chassis under the battery tray, and that would involve manually draining it at services.

I understand that same situation exists with LC200s from a post I seem to recall on another forum.
Even then I would need a smaller catch can than a Provent 200.
I am still thinking about It

No you wouldn't. There's a spot near the shock mount that it fits with a bracket made

Excuse my ignorance, but why does a catch can need to be fitted on a td5 and do I need one?

Do you need one? No.
What the provent does is separates the oil that's pumped out of the crank case as part of the crank case ventilation gasses. The Td5 is a fairly heavy breather, and this oil ends up in the intercooler which is why we need to clean them out every now and then.
So, adding a provent keeps your IC and related pipework clean(ish) and improves their efficiency.

That's a long winded way of saying yes you should have one! If anyone wants to PM me with an address I have some photos collated from this wonderful site which may help (can't add pix to PMs as far as I know, and tooo many bytes to post here
