Thread: Which breathers are here?

The wires are easy... they are for fog lights. It appears the front bar has been replaced at some stage with one that had no lights fitted.

I also have 2 breathers clipped in behind the passengers headlight that I cant find the other ends of.. they were just hanging down.

Interesting that one has a joining tube on it and the other is just the hard plastic tube...
I have checked my manual for a schematic of the front and rear axle breathers but cant find one...

I will continue to search but any help identifying them would be appreciated.

The rear diff breather hose terminates behind the left rear break light.

There is a breather hose on the fire wall which terminates in front of the LHS passenger.

Not sure about the hose you are referring to but sure enough someone else will know.

Firstly are the standard breathers there, i.e. a tube coming out of the top of each axle & running to a higher point, usually the passenger side firewall for the front one.
Its not uncommon to extend the breathers to a higher outlet point so what you have may be the remains of extensions. If you don't have any breathers get some asap and check the diff oil for water

Standard breathers are all in place... I have no idea what these were but I have now removed them... they clipped in behind the passengers headlight.. had the hooked ends on them and ran down behind the washer reservoir...but then nowhere....
All removed now...

They would have been breathers for the foglights that were built into the front bumper bar, there were two on each side for each light fitting.
