Excuse my ignorance, but why would you not use a standard breather plug?

I dont disagree, never had a problem.... Just saw the tube type at 25£ and thought ive seen them fittings, so found them....
To be honest ill not use it, i think they look crap, with that tube sticking up!!

Sorry to hear about your problem. Thrift speed like many of todays "suppliers" are only a platform and carry no responsibility for the direct supply of parts... The contract lies between the actual supplier and purchaser....

Weve all heard that one...... Mine was with Booking.CON recently..
