Out the front, spanner in hand
Can some kind soul tell me where the rear axle breather pipe should go to on a 110, mines just been dangling around for ages. I want to get it higher up it would take miles of tube to get it to the engine bay.

Mine ran from the axle up the rear axle ball joint arms up to the tub resting mounts and clipped on there but all you need is a longer pipe and it can go anywhere.
 
I'm thinking of running mine up through the rear light gromit and up the inside of the rear tub or you can get a T peice and join the front and rear together then up the snorkal
 
TBH anywhere above wade depth will be fine, but check the banjo union on the axle / pipe joint as they crud up, if its blocked it pressurises gear oil into the wheel bearings.
On the other end of things they need to be above wade depth and not getting water into the axle, if its been dangling best check the fluids as water emulsifies the oil, fast track to fooked and worn parts.
 
Standard is just tucked up in the wheel arch or something with an upside-down U bend.

But you can just cable tie it to the axle if you don't plan on wading. Personally I'd go with everyone else's suggestions and buy a wading kit to run it up to the snorkel. About £25 on ebay will give you all the fittings you need and more 8mm tube than you can shake a stick at. I did mine and still had about 2 thirds of the tube that was supplied left over.
