Breather and oil filler cap for the rocker cover, part of the engine crankcase ventilation system on the 2.25L and 2.5L 4-cylinder petrol and naturally aspirated diesel engines.

Mounted on top of the rocker cover, the unit vents crankcase pressure through an integral wire-mesh breather filter while also serving as the oil filler point. Relieving crankcase pressure protects the gaskets and oil seals from being forced out under engine blow-by.

Frequently asked questions

What is this breather and what does it do?
This is a combined breather and oil filler cap for the rocker cover. It vents crankcase pressure through an integral wire-mesh filter while also serving as the oil filler point on the four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines.
Which models and engines does it fit?
It fits the Series 3 2.25 diesel from engine number 36623742B and the Land Rover Defender with 2.25 petrol, 2.5 petrol and 2.5 diesel engines. It mounts on top of the rocker cover.
What happens if the breather gets blocked?
A clogged wire-mesh breather traps crankcase pressure, which can force oil past the gaskets and seals and cause leaks. Cleaning or replacing the breather restores proper crankcase ventilation and protects the seals.
