    I am sure someone will beat me to it but its something i am doing tomorrow, Rear diff, front diff, gear box and transfer box, I'm running 4 separate 8mm plastic pipes all into the engine bay, they will terminate into 2 Y connectors and then into 2 breathers, I'll post some pictures when I've finished tomorrow.

      I got these off of ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=110229263111 then just push in 8mm tubing & feed it where you like.

        many thanks
        a few questions for you guys,
        1- how many would i need from ebay?, the sale is for 2 but your pic has 9.
        2- do i not need any filters?
        3- do i need breathers on my gearbox and transfer box and if so will i require the same size bits?

          As far as I know you'll need 4 but as I've not done all mine yet I can't say if they'll all need to be 90 degree angles or not, front & rear diffs plus gear & transfer boxes, from what others said you will need to do something with the fuel tank breather which apparently hangs down there somewhere, I bought a variety from the same bloke on ebay then I purchased 30 meters of 8mm tubing, I wont need all that but it worked out cheaper for me to buy in bulk.

          I've only done the rear axle so far as the others are a bugger to get to until the body lift has been done, I put my pipe up through the floor & the only thing over the end is some material to stop any dirt/grit etc falling down the pipe, I also put pieces of rubber pipe over the 8mm tubing in places where I thought it might rub.

              OK, thanks very much, this is a long shot but i was hoping to have it fitted by sunday, so how long would it take to fit if i bring tools?
              also will it be just the diffs or the transfer and manual box? and last but not least, how much would you want for it all?

                It will be just the fittings for the diffs and pipe .........Have you still got the aircon rad???if so it will make fitting dificult

                  i think i still do not sure whats it like?, ac does not work anyway and i was thinking of removing it.
                  will it help that i have a 2" body lift?

                    The rad cuts off the access to the front diff breather .........and if you off road it is a mud brick normally

                    Beware what the little yellow modder had wired into the electrics

                        When we took out GWH's the starter motor relay earth had been wired into the aircon electrics .........we were very puzzled why it would not start after removal

                          ok, thanks for the warning,
                          is it still hard with the 2" body lift?

                            The only problem would be the rad............i'll give you extra fittings incase the others are the same size
