Cracked breather below inlet part?

[LiamR172]

Hi all..

Cars not been running to great lately, random missfiring and problens starting so i took the inlet off earlier to check the plugs etc, only to find that part of the breather has actually cracked/broken.

I dont know the exact name of the part but heres some pictures! (Ignore the paint job)

Has anyone ever seen this before? The bolt that holds it down has sheared.(how could this happen when theres no movement?)

And also, has anyone got a replacement part they wish to sell me?

Thanks, Liam.

Sorry this should really be in the faults/problems forum, my mistake

never seen that before, but that'll cause an air leak = runs like crap and will idle at about 3000rpm (unless it happened slowly over time, which probably means the ecu has adjusted itself)

got loads of them kicking about if you need 1

EDIT - ah ha looks like the bolt nearest to it has been snapped off at some point (common)

Fred it would be brilliant if you could sell me one, have you got any bolts aswell, i actually need a few of them! The bolt that holds that broken bit on had sheared the head off so it was just flapping about.

Im not sure how long its been broken for, but the faces look pretty dirty so i'd say a while :s

Has anyone got this part i could buy?
