Poking around rear of engine tonight found walking shaped tube with a end that looks like it should be plugged in somewere, the end has a small hole in it, tried to take a shot but far to dark.  Could it be a breather of some sort?

Yes, if it like the breather on the 3.0s it is an open pipe to do with the breather system.  It just floats around!

thanks although it is not an open ended pipe the connector?? on the end has a small 1/16" hole, pipe comes up near the centre rear and yes auto box.

Then auto box breather 100% mate

1/16 pipe sounds more like a vac pipe to me, does it have a rubber half turn/joint on the end.

Auto box breather is closer to 8-10mm possibly even bigger

Do you mean 'walking stick' shaped? I misread initially, and indeed it does sound more like a vac pipe as MDTM says. Don't know anything about 2.0 engines though

You don't mean this dangly black thing on the black pipe hanging off the back of the EGR? (Near the rusty bits)



If so, it doesn't connect to anything.

Whoops missed the bit about the connector and 1/16 hole - agreed autobox breather ~10mm o/d
