Wading breather pipes

[diff-breaker]

Just wanting bit of adivce from anyone that has fitted axle breathers to Discovery 1 on where best they have routed them ? :roll:

[boss]

cable tie them to radius arms and a frame then route them alond the chassis and take them to the top of your snorkle

[J.D.]

As Boss says, and on the back, leave the cable ties a little bit slack, or remember to leave some slack in the breather to allow for articulation and do it along the top of the radius arm, otherwise they get ripped off.

on the front its simple just folow where the old breather went but just a bit higher  the rear I zip tied it to the brake line thats just near the sill then folowed the same route as the transfer box and gear box up into the bulk head. you can then take the 4 pipes up the side of your snorkle but what I did was get 3 Tee shaped fittings and made it all into 1 pipe its a bit more manageable that way when you run it up your snorkle

Thanks all for the tips - what about the back axle ones ?

[boss]

literally the same, just route them along the  a-frame. but its a got to be loooooooooooooooong to go down the chassis. you will also neeed to do the fueltank breather. search a little around on here and youll find a few threads of people asking how to drain the fuel tank as they have water in there!

[stretchy]

 have never heard of a fuel tank breather. is this comen for water to get in there ???

[wizard]

There is a tank breather, but water rarely gets down it. Its usually cable tied to the filler pipe.

Been meaning to ask this for a while - when you fit a timing case breather, do you need to take the timing case apart or does the connector just screw in from the front using the existing wading plug hole?

I was building up to that but thanks anyway...................

The timing case breather mounts onto the round cover on the front of the timing case. If you have air con i think LR have the tension pully in its place.

Oops! Another fine bit of LR design there (can be added to the OEM Disco towbar and not making the front spoiler easily detachable like the RRC ones). I guess they didn't think that we'd want to drive through fords with aircon...

Is there a way around this?
