I've searched, but couldn't find the answer. I'm extending the breathers on my D2 TD5 auto. Am I correct in thinking there is no breather on the auto box? So just transfer box and front and rear axles?

IIRC it runs flat on the top of the box from close to and to the right of the shift lever and forwards up the bulkhead

No there is one on the gearbox extension housing.

Ok. Thanks. Looking under the bonnet earlier there were only two breathers. One on the right and one on the left of the engine, on the bulkhead. Maybe I'll be able to see better once I get underneath!

Hi, not sure if this helps but he mentions the number of breathers -

Thanks for that. Managed to get it sorted. The gearbox breather had dropped down behind the engine block. All breathers extended up behind plastic cover on the windscreen pillars. Snorkel is now air tight too!
