Disco 1 - extended axel breathers.

[DiscoNickY]

Hi there. I have just fitted the extended axel breathers but there is two brass 'plug' like bolts in the kit I have and I don't have a clue what they're for. Any help appreciated. Cheers peeps.

Wading plugs. One in the bottom of the bell housing and one in the bottom of the timing case. Fit them when you plan to wade and remove when you're done.

Cheers mate. Are they essential when wading?

It's up to you but I never fit the one in the crank case muddy ****ty water still gets in n swills around on the cambelt. At least with plug out it goes in but can come out straight away.

So st the moment they are just open threaded holes?

Yes.

Personally I would always fit them, but I know that my timing case is well sealed.

Done that, very easy to do, and parts came in my breather kit - think mine was a 6-1 breather kit

then bung it up and check it when you do oil changes.

To tag onto this. What do most people do,fit them on the morning of play and then take them out on return or can they be left in all the time and taken out every couple of months?

Does anybody know if the gear box breathers are the same fitting as the axel breathers?

If they;re in good nick cut em where they enter engine bay and use a straight pushfit connector to join em up to a longer lenght of pipe.

Though I prefer one continuous pipe.
