--- Quote from: "Tyke" ---Checking oil in rear diff last week and got proper hiss when I cracked the filler plug . . . . . . . yep !!!!   . . . . . . . turned out the banjo bolt was blocked full of crap and not letting the axle breath.

A recon diff went in about 5000 miles back, changed oil at 500 and 1500 and last week found the breather blocked during a routine check.



Just as well I suppose . . . . . before the pressure in the diff blew the seals.



Well at least it's been watertight . . . . .  :lol:






One Word to say . . . . . Maintainance  :wink:

Hello Tyke - Had exactly the same happen to my Disco about 18 months ago.

Ended up replacing the oil in diffs with fresh oil. Whilst I was at it I popped down to Cages down Dewsbury, bought some 4mm pneumatic piping and put new extended breather pipes on.

Little-Green-Machine:
if your not needing a snorkle for the depths that you wade in try buying extended breathers and running them up into the highest point in the engine bay. we did this on our 2a and it works a treat remember to point them downwards so a splash won't flood them.

Lewis Bernard:
hi guys, i need some help with this one as well.

so far i have extended breathers on both axles, gearbox and transfer box, got a 300 tdi and been trying to work out how to fix a breather to the timing cover. As it is an air con model and the tensioner pulley arm acts as the cover, and the central part is a 1/2" socket hole for a torque wrench. any ideas?? (apart from do away with the air con!!) anyone out there managed to create something?

cheers for the help

lewis
