What engine do you have?

How old is the pollen filter?

Check the breather pipes just behind the alternator tee piece is known to break

Changed them when I had the stat done. Cost a small fortune from Land Rover for me.

I later found out you could replace with hose and.connectors and would have been far cheaper and last a lot longer.
