Iv been doing some bits on the defender today and i noticed in the N/S/R wheel arch a broken breather pipe,
With what looks like a nonreturn valve on it.
I dissappears off between the fuel tank and the rear cross member, so i couldnt see to trace it back!
Does anyone know what its the breathing for??
Im guessing its the rear diff?
Thanks DAVID:eek:
 
I'd say it went to the rear diff.
You can buy pneumatic pipe joiners from fleabay, just double check the OD of your pipe. So a quick repair is to give the ends a trim and join them together.
Or go the full hog and do what I did. Get a roll of pipe and various Y-joints. Join the breathers all together and extend them up the side of your snorkel. (if you have one)
 
on closer inspection it appears to be a tank breather!
The non return must be to stop water going back down the pipe as its relativly low on the vehicle
