Defender Wading Kit

Hi all,

Been looking at wading kits on the bay. I have a 1990 110, originally turbo diesel but has 200tdi engine now, not entirely sure on all the parts I need to extend the breathers for? I assume axles, gearbox, timing case. And this kit says it does fuel tank as well. Do all those already have breathers that just need extending?
I know you can buy all the bits and pieces seperately and probably save a few quid. But this kit seems pretty reasonable.

What do you reckon?

hi i'll try and help.

I have just done my own breather kit on my discovery 1.

the pipe that is needed is 6mm nylon pipe.

there are six breather points
2 axels, both of them are 1/8BSP thread, i used 1/8th to a 6mm pipe push fit. insert a pipe and then run it up into the engine bay.

the gearbox and transfer box can just simply be extended using two 6mm push fit straight throughs and run them the rest of the way into the engine bay.

finally the cam cover and the bell housing. I used two 1/4BSP to 1/8BSP reducers and then used the same 1/8 to 6mm push fit adapters (the same as used in the axels) then insert the pipe and run it in to the engine bay.

I then took the six pipes in the engine bay and put them into a small manifold putting them all into one pipe and then sealing it into the airbox and up the snorkel.

hope this makes some sense.

Biggest problem with the flywheel housing is unless someone has put silicone between the clutch and flywheel housings when doing a clutch etc some water WILL get into the housing, ive just fitted a drain tap to the flywheel and timing belt housing much easier and piece of mind.
The axle fittings are barbed so best to cut of the old nylon pipe and run new to the engine bay then garaunteed no leaks

Very true with the water. But I can still remove the pipe and allow to drain in the same fashion as a tap would, but my method allows the cam cover and bell housing to breathe. As a hot engine cools when entering water it will contract and breathe in, if completely sealed it will blow a seal due to the pressure. And remeber there are crank seals in both enclosure.

I know I'm talking in extreme circumstances, but that's why I did it in this way.
