There was a valve just after the breather pipe turns horizontal after leaving the block.....

they made sense to me late last night
Right here we go, sorry for the delay the battery on the camera was flat then i had to go christmas shopping lol, i will give a guide after the pic's.
This is the over all pic you can see the one from the rocker cover and has the "T" to the block and the other pipe goes to the TIP.
This is the pic of where the pipe goes in to the tip, my car is an LC but i expect the LCR has this in the same place.
The elbow going to the block,.
This is the conection for the block under the inlet manifold.
The conection to the TIP
Now you know where all the pipes go just remove all the OE pipes, make sure you know where you are going to mount the tank and plan the pipe route.
The main problem i had is that the tank inlets are a diferent size to the engine inlets so i got some reducers from 19mm to 16 mm and used them just before the tank you can see them in the over all pic.
The TIP conection is easy enough 19mm elbow goes straight in, the block conection is easy aswell all you need to do is remove the elbow you do this by pulling the clip arrowed in the pic once it is out pull the elbow towards you it is now alot easyer to put the new pipe
on then just replace push the clip back in and do up all the conections.
Although it works it is not that nice to look at i am constantly on the look out for better pipe work.
I hope this is of some use any questions please ask.
thats great, thanks mate

I just read about some guy who installed an oil catch tank on his 1,8T, but removed it as it collected neglectible amounts of oil. If the engine is in a healthy conditions it shouldn't be a prob.
idk...
idk...
Mine is healthy, nothing wrong at all and i am getting the above, how old was the 1.8T you read about what was the milage?

hi all
sorry to bring this one back up, but just double checking something....so I see it as this
this catch can:
With 19mm connections on the can, use -12 braided hose fittings and -12 hose finishers
and I have these, to connect everything up (19mm or 3/4" fittings)
T Piece out of the block
other hose joiners (19mm connections again)
should work ok?
I got the fittings from INA, does anywhere in the UK sell these?

You don't want a breather, it will just clog and block itself. Pipe in ... pipe out that's it. The fumes on their own can be drawn back and burnt in the engine - they just don't mix with the oil vapour and other crud and stick to your inlet and also get blown into your IC pipework - that's what you collect in the tank.
That's the way it works on diesels I think but i should imagine the petrol engines suffer the same way.

i see you guys have T it off to the TIP, might be wrong but can you just block the whole on the TIP and you dot have to T it off then, like loony has done in his pic

can I ask, why not just fit it like all the other installs done, instead of doing it differently?
if it works under the standard setup, then I would keep it that way....just a suggestion

by the way *cough* BT and internals quote *cough*

it keeps the hoses tidy and no T off anywhere, simple 2 hoses. makes sence, if anything the 3 hose way as shown just looks like hard work. and wouldnt this just thow oil into the TIP

hardly hard work, just a bit of piping and joiners...
I wouldn't have thought so, as the pressure from the pcv and head pushes the oil into the catch can........

i just think there is no point running a pipe to the tip that really is pointless,
