As a new member I would like to offer members a cure for the above, which is the bane of a V8 engine, as you all know. I cured mine by inserting two Wells PCV 76 one-way valves; one into the O.S.F BREATHER PIPE 603518 and another into the N.S.F. BREATHER PIPE 603517. I must have done a couple of thousand miles now and the engine is not now covered in unsightly oil. Perhaps fitting one to the 2000 unit could be a cure. Hope this helps, because I have enjoyed and learnt from reading the Forum. Alanj.
