    Hopefully Hodge will spot this thread as he has recently done this to his CRD. Its not really hard to do. The hardest part is mounting the can. You also need to make adaptors for the 1inch ports on the can to 1/2inch (from the engine) and 5/8inch (to the intake). How you adapt it, there is many ways. I used 1inch O.D to 5/8inch O.D copper adaptors from my local plumbers store. The inside diameter of the 5/8 end is 1/2inch, so I simply cut a short 1inch length of 1/2 copper tube , flared it and glued it inside the 5/8 end so then I had a 1inch O.D to 1/2inch O.D adaptor for the hose from the engine.
    Hope this made sense. Kinda hard to explain.
    If you need to locate the hose you need to tap into. Look for a hose that runs from the top of your motor and back to the air intake hose.

    Did you purchase the "Patrol kit" from Western Filters? If you did then it comes with everything you need. Installation is pretty easy, just follow the instructions. I can take some photos of mine on the weekend if need be.

    If it wasn't purchase from Western Filters just be carefully as there are some cheap knockoffs around that don't perform as well.

    Thanks a bunch I've seen the western filter kits so that's a no brainer I'll order one and set myself to task
    I'm rather excited at the thought of becoming one with my beast as it stands up until now I've Been purely a 2wheeled racing nutter but age is catching up on me so riding is all about the BBQ / beer after a hard days thrash not the win

    I mounted mine on the plate infront of the abs unit I got a flat piece of metal and made an extendable bracket drilled and used rivnuts to mount everything up.ps rivnut set on ebay is $63 at the moment and if your going to do a few things around the car not a bad investment.kev

    Here's the pictures of mine. The fitting kit makes it look like nearly a factory fit.

    In reference to the adaptors needed to fit a member here just recently used a
    late model falcon heater hose which is flared both ends so you'll have a perfect fit.

    Had a look but cant find the post with the flared heater hose

    Just like Yendor. I used a fitting kit supplied by Western filters, including the drain hose and the finish was very nice.
