Axle breathers, Can I...

<< < (3/3)

Disco Bristol:
What diameter is the tubing that is used for the breather pipes on a Disco 97 mk1?  I want to do it myself as I don’t want to do it the standard way.

blacknight:
I ran new breather pipes on my Disco (Tdi 1996)to the side of  the air filter box.

I snipped off a small piece of the breather pipe, measured the internal size by using a twist drill and then went to my local pneaumatic supplier and bought 30m of the stuff for about £7.00.

I also cleaned out the fitting on the axle at the same time.

I had to warm the pipe up slightly to get it on to the fitting on the axle.

The size of pipe I bought had an inside diameter of 4mm.

Disco Bristol:
The tubing arived today, will "try" to fit it tomorrow.

Range Rover Blues:
I used aquarium pipe.  It's clear so you can see if any water or much is in it and for the gearboxs I used black aqquarium pupe, the carbon content helps it stay rigid inder heat.

Depedning on what year you have most later cars have carbon canisters in the fuel tank breather system so all you need to do is keep the inlet to the can dry, it's under the bonnet anyway.
