Woo Hoo, Got me an Off Roader
BK:
You need a small drill and a hacksaw blade or a cheap dremel,the breathers are on the axles but you should be able to see the black piping against the bulkhead,its thin black tubing with a bend on he end in the shape of a hook,you can get complete breather kits off ebay,do a google search for "safari snorkle fitting" and you should be able to get summat :D
Disco Matt:
The snorkel instructions mention using two holesaws to do the job - they're not expensive and having the right tools will make for a much neater job.
Regarding axle breathers, I've not looked yet but there seems to be some confusion. Are they extended to the bulkhead on all Disco 1s in standard form or not? A mate with a Disco Commercial has looked at his and they don't seem to be.
BK:
Just get the kit from wizardbilt,saves all confusion then :D

I run a 1995 3 door v8 discovery. Im still running the standard height suspension with 235/85/16 tyres on landrover alloys. I have got a h/d rear bumper, front steering guard, rear tank guard, snorkel and a side exit exhaust. I have found that it is VERY good off road without lifted suspension and the only thing that really let it down was the lack of travel.
If i was you i would go for the biggest tyres you could fit under the arches and get some protection and some recovery points and save your cash for the next 6 months. Come march i should be fitting the llama4x4 suspension kit on mine but then i would have had it a year :dance:
Gavin.
P.s in some previous posts there shgould be some photos of my discovery with that size tyres on.

You'll have to keep me posted on the llama4x4 suspension kit, will be looking to do upgrades similar when a bit more experienced.
