DISCOVERY 2 V8 (1998-2004) Axle, Gearbox & Transfer Box Breather Kit
SKU: BRE-005
Axle, Gearbox & Transfer Box Breather Kit
Relocates the axle, gearbox and transfer box breathers up into the engine bay on braided stainless hoses — so water stays out when you're wading.
Standard Land Rover breathers vent through short factory pipes low down on the axles, gearbox and transfer box. Wade through deep water or sit in a muddy rut and those breathers can draw water straight into your diffs, gearbox and transfer box as the hot components cool and contract — leading to milky oil, accelerated wear and expensive damage. This kit relocates every one of them high into the engine bay on braided stainless hoses, so they breathe clean air instead of water.
Raises every breather above the water line so the diffs, gearbox and transfer box can't draw water in.
Stainless-braided breather hoses stand up to heat, abrasion and under-vehicle grime far better than OE plastic pipes.
Everything to relocate the front & rear axle, gearbox and transfer box breathers for your model.
Why relocate your breathers?
Every sealed casing on your Land Rover — front and rear diffs, gearbox and transfer box — has to breathe as it heats up and cools down. From the factory those breathers sit low, protected by nothing more than a short pipe and a small cap.
The moment a hot axle is plunged into cold water, the air inside contracts and pulls hard through that breather — and if it's underwater, it pulls water in. Water in your diff or gearbox oil wrecks bearings and gears. Relocating the breathers high into the engine bay on braided stainless hoses removes that risk, so you can wade and green-lane with confidence.
