Catch can install
Wise ones
Now the merits of a catch can have been well documented in this parish, however I thought I’d share my install.
Now my Puma has both aircon and a clutch booster which made finding a site a little tricky. Eventually I settled on the gap at the back of the engine behind the dip stick.

As it goes there is a threaded hole in line with the dipstick mount which lends itself to a nice bracket mount site, so I whipped up an Ali plate with some rivnuts to mount the can ( hoping for monumental performance gains from the weight reduction holes)

Anyway I nailed it all in, piped it up with some diesel hose and there you go, catch can fitted

She’s a snug fit but nothing is chafing and you can sort of get to the clutch fluid reservoir.
This is a bit niche, but you never know

Neat install👍
I'd be interested in hearing how much you collect in it over a period of time..if you do updates to your post
I've never noticed a lot of oil in my breather pipe.. Just damp oily deposit on the walls, so assumed the filter set up in the cover was doing its job..

me too. On my 2.4 I collect about 30ml every 4000k, and I've had it for more than 30000k now. I have no idea if this is a lot or not. Mind you, if I remember well, it takes a few thousand k to start collecting any liquid with a new filter as the first ml are retained in the the filter element itself.
