RE: PCV
Yes.
All cars have them, it serves two purposes.
1-removes the crank case gases from the crank case to prevent pressure from building up inside the crankcase and blowing out engine seals.
2-routes the crankcase gases into the intake plenum to be burned in the combustion process so that these gases are not released into the atmosphere and deplete the ozone.
So short answer, yes.

RE: PCV
Disco Mike, Spike
I'm knot having any problems, I was curious because I can not (so far) locate one on the vehicle - mainly because on older model (other brands) vehicles I would change them every 30k or so or use carb cleaner to keep em all sparkly inside (and moving). I was thinking, since I got this one with 60k on it I would change it - is that good or bad on these? I'm guessing its on the intake plenum.
Thanks for your time and information - both ya

RE: PCV
I do not know how it works on a DII, but on a DI it is not like the typical PCV on a GM car, just a hose coming from the valve cover to the intake plenum.
Nothing to replace, just a little plastic gizmo called the oil sperator that prevents oil from being sucked into the intake.

DII's use the same system. Just looked at AB and the oil seperator is for all Disco's.
Take needle nose pliers and gently grab the tip of the oil sperator, clean with carb cleaner, let it dry and replace it.

What about these after market oil separators? I see some oil in the intake, which is not good for the valves. Not to think about all this gunk which is thrown up into the intake. I think the stock oil separator is just to satisfy regulations and to keep it maintenance free. A collector oil separator requires some maintenance but keeps the gunk out of the intake and away from the valves. I see some cheap Chinese on ebay for $25. What do you think?
