karloss:
For the record, all mine are run seperate and the ends are just turned upside down to stop it raining in the axles/boxes. I used some natty blue compressor hose. Largely coz it was free.  HTH

strapping young lad:
cool

i got the 5mm pipe for 79p a metre tonight from b&q

intend on running the back axle into a t-piece with the transfer box, then into another t-piece with the g'box up to the bulkhead

then run another from the front axle up and join both into another t-piece or Y then up the snorkel than bend it around but not kink it

i presume there are only 4 points to get breathing on a 200tdi disco?

if there are others i would like to know!

karloss:
Lots if your really serious. I've seen people do the swivels, the bell housing, the timing belt cover, the rocker box, even the dipstick. (think the last one might have been the owner). Most people don't do it so much for the "breathing" so much as stopping water ingress.

strapping young lad:
yeh it is mainly for water ingress

am getting wading plugs shortly anyway

not that i intend taking my car swimming but i will be more assured with the bits on than without

karloss:
Wading plugs, now they are a good idea. I never bothered with those. Now have a Kaput clutch release bearing for my troubles. T'old lass does her fair share of swimming tho' :lol:
