Try to get an ERST bailey breather they are much better than the FRST ones.
Cool - will check them out. I guess if there's any additional pipe outlets I can just stick a mini K+N on them and let it vent to atmosphere? My sump's been drilled and welded for an oil return

How have you diagnosed the breather you've got as f*cked? Have you removed all the breathers and cleaned them out?
Nah, what's happened is that to try and get the air filter and pipe in so that the bonnet closes I had to move the intake pipe up, which pulled the third hose down - this hose is clamped to the bottom of the breather pot, and when there was too much pull it ripped the bottom of the breather pot off. I've superglue'd it but it's just a bodge til I can get something proper sorted

If you take the oil cap off with the car running does your engine blow out of the cap? (most do due to ring wear) If it does and you fit a setup like you mention your little breather will clog up with oil in no time and your car will stink of oil whilst driving it.
Engine's clean, rebuilt about 3000 miles ago with new or recon everything so shouldnt have a problem there, touchwood
Think I'll try the Bailey type option and see how I go, cheers for the tip
