Default What happens if the breather pipes on an XKR are swapped over ?

XKR V8
If the breather pipe on the rh bank is extended and connected to the intake elbow (after the throttle valve), and the breather pipe on the lh bank is then connected to the intake air cleaner box, what adverse affects, if any, would there be?

"You play, you pay". Most likely your remote will no longer work, your window memory will fail, and you will get multiple error messages on your DIC. I doubt that anything good would come of this, otherwise someone at Jaguar/LR with an engineering degree would have done it years ago. It's your car, so if you insist on doing this, then please let us know the results, if any. The XK8/XKR is a GT car. It was designed for long distance travel in comfort and silence. It does this quite well. Just drive it and enjoy it. Don't mess with it!
