Wading kits
« on: May 09, 2006, 15:55:57 »
I am thinking that as I keep getting a pool of water out from under the engine every time I go through water and for about 2 days after going through the water I am thinking maybe I should invest in some wading plugs and axle breathers etc.

I have seen this  Item on ebay and wondered if it is any good?

Also I have seen from the same seller this and wondered if they will fit my disco?

If anyone has any thoughts on why I would keep loosing oil out of the hole just behind the alternator pulley please post it here too.

Do mud club members get any discount :?:  :wink:

It looks quiet hard to install as well because of that white box on the bulk head.

but can you get the connector bits that screw into the axles and have a connector bit on for aquatic hose from an aquatic shop?

i just linked into the existing black pipe with hose end connectors and extended them, then linked into the t'piece hose end connectors to end in 1 hose all from the aquatic shop.....similar to this site......

if you havent got the existing bolt and existing black hose on already then no, an aquatic place would be useless  :oops:

How about free postage..

The "white box thing" is actually an alluminium manifold that joins all the breathers together and allows you to run 1 pipe up the snorkel.
If you can drill 2 holes 60mm apart then you can install this kit.

Done mine for a tenna as well. Fuel line and connectors. Attached them to the original breathers so only a matter of extending them
