Need Help To Identify Breather Hose...

Hey guys, I hope you're all having a great Easter weekend...

The last few weeks I have noticed the car idling a little rough, albeit very intermitantly, (perhaps even missing) for a few seconds after starting. I put it down to needing a service, that I intend to do myself providing I can get reasonably priced parts considering I live in NZ. Repco, a local motor parts and accessories store (similar to Halfords) quoted me around $800 for plugs, leads, air, cabin, oil and fuel filters, plus the oil. That's about £400, which is like WTF! I have decided to get a service kit from Fleabay for a quater of the price I was quoted, which includes Fram filters and NGK plugs (no leads or oil though).

Since then I have discovered a perished breather hose and the question I have is would a buggered breather hose cause the car to idle rough for a few seconds after starting, especially when load is put on the engine, such as the Air Con being switched on, or being put in to gear? I have been unable to identify the hose, and I would appreciate if someone could offer some advice looking at the pictures below...

As viewed from the battery side...


Looking over the back of the engine, I see the hose joint/coupling has completely perished. I'm guessing the perished coupling part is separate from the breather hose itself and can be replaced independently?

In the UK, the part shown is only available from Ford as an assembly.

The cheap and quick fix is to use the rubber cover from an old HT lead.

If one is like that, then the one the front bank is probably the same

Thanks for the reply. I'll try and get my hands on an old HT lead from somewhere, as I don't happen to have one lying around. I had been toying with the idea of going to Ford over here, but I can only imagine what they may charge me for the proper part, and I'm sure it won't be cheap!!!
