    breathers

    Hi
    my old disco had transfer case and auto trans breather lines terminating at the back of the engine..it was a 98. My new disco is a 98 and there is no sign of any breather lines. Do some discos just have breather valves and no lines?

    Did you end up finding the breathers Edddo?

    Mine is a 97 300tdi and doesn't appear to have breather lines from transfer or auto.

    Found them - I just needed to have a decent look.

    They finish at the back of the head (300tdi), both tubes are attached by one clamp bolted to the back of the head.

    I just spent a few minutes extending the diff breathers up to the same level (top of the firewall). $5 at Bunnings for a roll of irrigation riser tube and a couple of barbed joiners - all done.

    Not sure if its the "best" way, but I just bought some 4mm irrigation riser tubing from Bunnings (10m for about $4), and some barbed joiners.
    I cut off the 'loop' on the end of the original breather and pushed in the joiner and new hose. Front diff I ran up to the top of the firewall, the rear one I ran back and put it up through the grommet that carries the RH taillight loom.

    A few cable ties, and it was all done. I blew down the new hoses with my mouth to pressurise the diff and made sure it breathed out again once I took my face away. If you cant blow a decent amount of air in then the original breather is probably blocked.

    I'm running a Penrite oil (think its 80/90), but there may be something better for yours having done more K's

    I also use Penrite oil: Hypoid gear oil 80w-90.

    I've also heard of people using the heavier Penrite oil, 80w-140.
    Being 140 I believe it helps reduce the clunks in higher mileage cars.
