wading kits?

[mjltigger]

Bloody ell some people are in a rush tonight!! I've just been knocked over by some scruffy little grey haired twot, who was running as if the hounds of hell were after him...

He was shouting summat about not letting her find him or summat..

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

we is only talking here of breather extensions - they are all hidden

 

[mjltigger]

DOH.. was sure the subject had changed to snorkels.. can't keep up...

can you not just fit longer hoses to the fittings that are already there?

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

the kits normally come with enough pipe to replace the whole lot.

 

[redPavee]

Most kits you just cut the breather pipe and fit a pushfit straight connector to the cut pipe and then extend the breather using a new length of hosing.

 

[mjltigger]

ah right.. OK.. I'll try and keep up in future..

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

ere ya go...

 

[mjltigger]

yeah I had seen them.. had assumed you took the old ones off and replaced them with this.. couldn't work out why you woudln't just put longer bits of hose on the ones that are there anyway...

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

i think the idea is to make the tubing watertight .

 

[catleydog]

extended bits of pipe never work as all my slitty mates found out and now are changing axels lol

 

[loony landy]

did the kit come with instructions as well ??

I just pulled the existing pipes off and replaced with clear silicone pipes for an aquarium. Seals brilliantly and 'cos it's clear you can get an idea fo where it's blocked if you get water or ****e in it ..

[loony landy]

[pistol]

they're like 2 little hooks of plastic tubing IIRC - I had to take the gearbox surround off the top inside the cab to find them on my old disco

 

[loony landy]

I got my kit today and its all on but the gearbox/transfer breathers!!!!

I can feel them on the top of the gearbox but then they dissapear and i cant find where they come out in the engine bay !!!

Got me totally stumped ??

They have to come out somewhere
