breathers
« on: August 07, 2008, 17:35:40 »
was looking on ebay at a set of breathers for the disco but there about £25 whats included in these sets as it just looks like air line fittings an some pipe, which i can get free from work!

Also where are all the points that need breathers on a 1990 discovery?

Cheers

I bought the Wizard one, which is an alli block with the push fittings on it, 2 axles, gearbox, transfer box and timing case, all come into the block then one wider diameter pipe from the block up the snorkel.

its a great piece of kit, yes you can make your own cheaper, but off the shelf works for me here!

You don't even need new fittings.

There was some 4mm ID pnumatic tube left over from servicing an old crop sparyer at home (like about 30m of the stuff) and all I did was cut the old breather pipes off the existing banjo joints and push on new longer lengths of tube, though it did  take some pushing to get the new on.

i have one of the wizard kits and they look smart but to be honest all you need is some pipe that fits over the existing breather pipes
i have done this before using some washer pipe i got from my local car spares shop

if using the add on pieces though it may be worth checking that the banjo,s are clear as i have recently removed my rear one and it was blocked.
if i can still see my bonnet then the water aint deep enough!!!!
