im going to extend my rear axle breathers because i have had water in there in the past and gearbox breathers, i never had problem on the front axle it is high enough already but will probably do that aswell .Being an isuzu nothing of the self as usaul but have seen some on eebuygum for lawn rovers cheap, does anyone know if these would fit the exsiting holes in the axles, i think the pipe in the kit should fit even if the lawn rover joint isnt the same also where are the breathers on the gearbox.I will probably take a chance on the kit but thought i would ask here first incase anyones know if it will be no good or know of something better.

I just put it into the existing hose from the axle and secure with hoseclip, then just run it into the 1/4 panel behind body lamp.

There's a sticky in gearbox/transmission bit of the forum that should explain it mate.

Going off the 3.1 manual (haven't done box on 3.0 yet) I had the panel under centre console out to get to top of box, theres a cylindrical plastic fitting on g/box and t/box (covers the breathers) I pulled those off and used a bit of fuel hose to put onto where plastic bit came off (was a tight fit) then ran a pipe for each one to the bulk head, finished off with a coiled bit with the open end pointing downward.

Hope that makes some sort of sense!!?
