2.7 TDV6 rear timing belt - how to remove breather line

This is where you wish you’d clicked “buy” on that cheap USB inspection camera that keeps showing up in your adverts [emoji23]

I have one, find the quality of it to be useless. I did buy from Bunnings yesterday a Kincrome round mirror with an LED on the top that was good for looking behind there.

Of course this didn't hold true. 10 months later and I'm having major regrets while doing it again on our new (to us) D4...

I did my belts 2 weeks ago on my D3 and didn't find it as bad as i had read but i think the D4 has a little less room at the back.
I didn't undo any breather hoses as that part of the cover doesn't need removal.

Yes, D4 has more to undo to get access and less room. I find the actual belt changeover easy and the reassembly very quick and easy - but don't enjoy the accessing part...
