Mac that's awesome of you, I'll PM you my addy as a genuine one must be better than the manky bodgepipe I had lined up for the job.

To clear it up, this is the breather pipe I need to intercept, oui?

No probs,

Yes - that's the pipe ok - BUT it is fitted with a restrictor very close to the carb vacuum souce - the "approved" way of fitting the 't' piece is to take the pipe off the carb, fit the 't' to the pipe then join the 't' to the carb using a short length of pipe (50mm) cut from the rocker cover end. (have a look at the instructions - they're posted in the tech section). The 't' must be fitted between the restrictor and the carb - or you'll get false readings.

PM on its way.

Got ya, I shall do just that as soon as I can muster the enthusiasm. I've just spent a few hours replacing all the brakes on the daily 340, so I can't really stomach the thought of any more effort. :lol:

SORTED cheers folks. The vario now has a shiny new MOT, so I can get stuck in to sorting the blue one out.
