Yours is a 410 isn't it? It might be where that allen key bung is? I've got an inlet over the workshop with one in so i'll get a pic and if you haven't got it i'll send you a pcv valve for a few beer tokens ;)

thanks for the help guys, ive managed to get a pcv valve from my local suzuki breakers so it should work a treat. but just out of curiosity does anyone know how this valve works and how it stops oil from going into the air box? is it just the oil pressure that goes into the cylinders?
cheers

Basically the engine case/block needs a breather to expel any pressure. This pipe will carry a oil mist/vapour that will get onto any filter placed on it. The pcv valve allows that pressure/mist to go into the inlet manifold and be burnt along with the normal combustion, thus keeping the air filter cleaner. I've just had a look at some diagrams and not all of them show a pcv valve on the 410, some are just blanked off as yours is.

Sorry the photo I added earlier was for a 413 :oops: I never checked to see if it was a 410 :oops:
