Gutless Micra, (fixed)

Hi All,
The K11 1.0 is no where near the speediest kid on the block but it got my boy about for ages.
He asked me to check it out for him, as it was losing power and couldn't get above 20 MPH on any sort of hill.
Checked MAF sensor, Lambda, temp control and throttle position sensor, all ok. No faults from ECU, (55)
I finally found that the front crankcase breather pipe was absolutely clogged solid with oily cr*p. It took me about an hour to clean it up and now the little beast is running sweet again, so if you ave this problem, could be worth checking the breather.

Interesting - how are the seals on the engine - is it losing any oil as I know when this happens to my Volvo it can blow out the rear seal.

i have put a oil catch pot to my breather pipe to the fresh air

not once have i smelt burn oil!

it will blow oil seals if the brether pipe was blocked-now cleared iam sure should be a problem now?
