The black circle thing is the oil breather. I wouldn't just replace for the sake of it but it might be worth cleaning it out

my mate, said I had a brake light out, I thought I had spare light bulbs from my metro and donor mgf, but I didn't. So a little trip to the local autos place and I was in business.
Graftys vents are still going strong and if anything been really good upgrade, with the cold winter. I do need to sort out the gaskets around the front flaps, and the door hinges etc. To make it all gravy, but I am really wanting to push on buying tyres.  All ready got my wheel locking nuts, but I am looking at better centre caps. Just for the bling Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

looks like I have a brake fluid leak, where the rear flexi hose meets the main pipe. So either it needs a nip up or the pipes failing, I still have my brakes though which is odd. I was wanting to get under there tomorrow for a quick turn with the spanners, but the way the weather is, i will have to see what i wake up to tomorrow.

well I have had a bit of a nip up to see what the story will be, and all seems ok for now. I am not really a fan of these braided hoses at all. So I may bin them off and go for the OEM.
Also with the flange bolts going orange, i have decided to throw a cheap little face lift on. just to make it look more tidy 
not even on the car two months!  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge the cheep  to go on,
