That's where they should be.  :D
They are a "Banjo" fitting with a black plastic pipe coming off them. The rear goes up into the drivers-side rear inner wing and the front is clipped to the passenger side radius arm and goes up into the engine bay.

Don't forget that there are five breathers.

Both axles, gear and transfer box and the one that most people forget about, the fuel tank.

Also, don't forget your wading plugs......., gearbox and timing cover.

can anyone show me some pictures of their ones please?? Can you leave the wading plugs in all the time or do you put them on then take them off when you finish going through the water?

I've not got any (yet) but as I understand it you can leave them in for a while - ie a whole day of laning, but you do need to remove them at some point.

Heres a few breather pix.(old ones and a few new ones).

The wading plugs shouldnt be left in for to long, ie months and months but a week or so is OK.

gearbox



Transferbox

cheers for them I know where I have to look now on the gearbox and transfer box etc. I definitely have them on the axles but I'll have a look on the gearbox and transfer box at some point.
