I have a 2.9 12v, and have just noticed that beside the pollen filter there is a cylindrical unit attached to a rod with a small pipe attached to the base, which has rusted through and totally collapsed, what is this and what does it operate?

Hi Most definately the Recirc Valve, they are fairly easily sourced and very simple to replace, done mine just a while ago.
Cheers Kenboy

Coat it with grease or spray liberally with WD 40 perhaps ?.
