With a cone filter on the breather is an air feed needed to it?

You can get breather filters from halfords. I've bought many from there for my old ibiza...they kept breaking and falling off!!!
They're normally around £10-£15

those little breather filters are wank, they get gunked up with oil and they stop working. plus they're illegal anyway as your not allowed to breath oil directly back into the atmosphere. more importantly though they can cover your engine bay in oil

either plumb the breather pipe back into the inlet, or use a catch tank.

yeh i had to fabricate myself a small join pipe to go inbetween airbox inlet and my induction filter and then just slotted the pipe securely back into there! job done!
