Following the help and advice from fullfatrr members, i thought I’d document this for anybody else who wants to give their Rangie the full air treatment. Mine is a 2005 L322 - later models may varie.

Thanks for the comments, good luck doing your own - there were a lot of people talking about adding a EGR blanking kit so i thought I’d give it the full treatment and write it up.

I've just bought my l322, any indications if its already done? I'm guesing not as mpg is pretty rubbish? |

Nothing conclusive as the wife has had the car for the last couple of weeks. She has no concept of driving economically... I did reset the mpg counter and then drove to work, and on to mams house. About 40 miles, over mixture of country roads and motorways and the displayed mpg was 33. There is certainly a lot cleaner pick up from the engine and a noticeable improvement in acceleration. |

The PCV/oil breather has a new system which is a kind of fit for life unit as it relies on some swirl system to filter the oil out so no filter of pressure thing to block or break, well worth doing IMO.
