Couple of points, clean breathers & fresh oil helps prevents pressure build up.

Cam cover gaskets need to be fitted correctly to work, you must use a torque wrench on the cover as its only 8Nm, which is nothing. Correct sealant must be used as per guides as well.

Pattern eBay parts are a lottery, most fail much quicker than pattern. Its been proven over the last 7 years of this forum, so you want to do everything you can to try and make that gasket last!

just clipped on, just undo the clips with som pliers and pop off to the right, clean out with some paraffen and wash out with some warm or hot water and leave to dry.

Just to clarify,i didn't change the box,just cleaned it out.I did however have to change the hoses which were in a bad way.
I was unable to get the correct size hose so had to reluctantly buy a vx bend and cut it to fit.this cost me £10 for a £2 job
