Gearbox Breather

I extended mine using some 6mm pipe and 6mm inline connectors that are 'push fit' in total it cost me £20 to do both axles and gearbox breathers.

You should be able to get the items from a local supplier of commpressed air parts, this way you just cut the breather pipe where you can see it and attach the in-line connector and a new piece of pipe and then run it where you want.

forgot to mention the in-line connectors are rated at 200psi and are therefore well adequate at stopping water ingress

SLUDGE:
On my '89 90 the gear box and transfer box ones end up between the block and the bulkhead. I haven't traced the axle breathers yet.

TonyEGV:
The axle breathers went up inside the wheel arches on mine really easy to find

Berliner Beer:
On mine they eneded up behind the engine block on the drivers side. Trouble is ther the same colour as everthing else. Mine were hook shaped.

TonyEGV:
Thanx Berliner

Mine were leaning to the left and looked liked they were hooked up to the engine block (but they weren't)
