No reason why it wouldn't work. ANYTHING will be better than a blocked breather!!!!!
I think something needs to be cleared up. The term “breather” implies that the line has a significant flow. It is nothing more than a tube to free air to allow for expansion and contraction of the air within the unit. So, hence the tube is small and the filter tiny, as it only needs to move a tiny amount of air. Only the amount caused by the expansion and contraction of the air within the diff.
The reason for replacement is the original was prone to blocking up, leading to the diff potentially sucking in through the seals and collecting dust or water, and premature seal failure.
I take issue with the ridiculous cost for its replacement.

I get its the filter that's stuffed. My question was more around whether the rear diff and transfer case use different breather filters, which is why they don't have the same issue?

It would be interesting to know how many owners have the new version.

Here are the Land Rover details. Considering it was published in 2009, we should have all heard by now!!!

You need to discuss pricing with your dealer! I told mine I could get it on the net from the UK for $75 before he gave me a price. He fiddled with his calculator and came up with $73.
A fuel filter would probably work, but the tube is a very small OD so I suspect you would need a little bit of rubber pipe to go over it.
