    Check crankcase filter. If these block, which they do, the vehicle will blow smoke. If filter is blocked the crankcase will pressurise and cause a myriad of problems, like oil leaks through gaskets and others. Jim

    Since it's still fresh in your mind - how hard was it? I have the new part ready to go in, but haven't got around to fitting it. I haven't even checked the RAVE yet to see where it lives...

    Cheers - Gav.

    It is a bit of work,depending on your mech. ability,google"change engine breather td6",one of the threads shows where it is,basicaly,remove engine cowlings,unbolt and unclip most of injector harness,it is under a cover with i think 4 or 5 bolts right at the back of the engine above the air cleaner.Look for a cover with an odd shape at the front and a round cover at the rear.The new gaskets will give you an idea what shape to look for.Good luck.

    You'll be fine Gav. Not that hard to do. Think I only had to remove one screw from injector harness & fiddle to get old housing & filter out and new in.
