axle breathers

(1/6) > >>

treeman:
after having a slight mishap on monday(water being deeper than i originally thought :shock:) its time to extend the breathers, can anyone tell me what pipes i need to extend and where from, iv only had a quick glance at the mo whilst i was emptying the fish pond out of my door pockets :lol:

thermidorthelobster:
Front one comes out in the engine bay by the bulkhead, rear one should go up the rear n/s pillar and can be accessed by unscrewing the light cluster.

You can buy an extended breather kit for anything up to 60 quid, or you can spend about 3 quid down the local aquarium shop and get some silicon hose and some push-fit connectors.

Whilst you're at it, you might as well extend the gearbox breathers, which also come up in the engine bay.

chris9119:
There are five breathers to consider, front and rear axle, gearbox, transfer box and fuel tank.

You also need to wading plugs for the bell housing and the timing belt casing.

treeman:
thanks  :D i was planning to go to the local aquarium  :lol: after all the pipes are already there and they only need extending, where do the gearbox breather an the transfer box breather come out to? my gearbox is sozzled but i better protect the next one  :oops:, i wasnt intending on going that deep until it started sinking, wading plug is ordered up as we speak along with a new timing belt :lol: cheers

Jake:
If your going to use cheap hose just be carefull not to squash it with the cable ties  ;)
