The standard breathers come up the bulk head and stop level to the rear of the head. same height as the air filter intake. so if you don't think you will be going in water deep enough to need a snorkle then there is also no point touching the breathers.So should i just do all the breather pipes and leave the air intake ... crankcase and gearbox ? I cant say i plan on going doors deep in water!

Is that all the breathers Kris, including the rear axle?

Both axles, gearbox and transfer box, the pipes come up the back of the engine and loop over like a hook.

I think you will find that the rear axle breather actually goes into the box section of the chassis as mine does from the factory. The rest do go to the bulkhead as stated Jai

There's one hole at the bottom of the gearbox bell housing and another one at the bottom of the timing cover. In normal conditions they are drain holes to allow any oil leaking from the gearbox or engine to get out. But off road you should buy wading plugs to stop water and mud getting in. But don't leave them in all the time or you could get a build up of oil in the gearbox bell housing or timing cover and this could do damage.
I just took what was available off the shelf, they didn't have both sections in any one colour in stock, I figured by the time it's coated in mud, it'd be one colour anyway. Top quality silicone hoses though.Not sure about the multi-coloured pipe's

Hi mate looking really good, i think it would be well worthy of a spot in one of the Land Rover mags.I just took what was available off the shelf, they didn't have both sections in any one colour in stock, I figured by the time it's coated in mud, it'd be one colour anyway. Top quality silicone hoses though.

friend has a 3 door disco for sale tax n mot 200tdi i think,, its standard still, any info PM me and i will get it for you
Once again big thanks to you for the box.
I know that DB was thinking of contacting one of the mags. From something that was pretty much bog standard a month ago, to what it is now, is such a difference. I can't wait to get it finished and get it out on the lanes.
I really wanted to keep the classic Series look.

What happened? It works!!
The rangie appears to be in one piece again and doing what it is supposed to.
Fitted the recon rad today -purrrfect. Attached flexi to snork, working well, got the grease gun out and did prop shafts and ball joints, turned the abs light out again, did some welderin and it's all lookin gud. Thanks to Zoolandy for the use of the vehicle lift, that was cool.
There are a couple of minor jobs I'd like to do but don't want to temp fate so will probably leave till after Salisbury. Its bin a gud day, yee haaaaaaaaaa.

Might be interested in taking a look and see what is there, pretty sure there will be bits I can use. Have they strpped the original vehicle or is it sort of in one piece?
Will PM a sort of list of stuff I would be interested in.
