Was randomly checking under my hood before setting off and noticed a breather pipe had burst.

Called RAC roadside assistance had it replaced within ten mins. Apparently this happens often.

Thought i would share pics as when I saw it, was a little shocked.
Before and after fixing photos attached.

Wait WHAT?

Are you sure that the damaged hose you replaced was the "right part"? Sometimes you can find garden hoses under the hood...just sayin...

that this thing about the garden masnguera sounded familiar to me, it seems that it is more common than I thought hahaha, the strange thing is not because it got like that, you have to find the reason, check if you do not have the cam cover stuck in the vent , state of the oil, changes and short trips, an oil pipe cannot be placed like this, change the pipe that you have put in for the original one, the rubber pipes and the oil do not get along well and end up breaking down because the oil attacks them like the gasoline, they must be special for it
