    Hi, I’m probably just going crazy, but I don’t remember seeing this blanked off pipe before. Can someone please let me know which part it is (so I can see via the exploded diagrams how it fits within the system, I can’t work out which it is, which is frustrating me) and confirm it’s normally located here.

    ive done many brake fluid changes and don’t ever remember seeing it here before. So I’m wondering if it’s dislodged or I’m just that unobservant.

    Hi Oli
    It's the gearbox breather, there is a horse shoe clip it clips into

    Cheers, Ian!

    it appeared after the gearbox was rebuilt, so that makes sense why i hadn’t seen it like this before.

    The clip is around the back of the thermostat housing

    How many miles has yours have on the gearbox before it needed work

    Sorry, I hadn’t seen your question! 100k miles including many track days and it being driven hard on most occasions (I got the car when it had 30k).
