I've barely had a chance to scratch myself today.... Saturday is full of much busy-ness and the new Defender is no excuse (apparently).

Tomorrow I intend to carry out some further inspection to unravel this one. I will report back

I know that one

It was more that where ever it may be may be:
a) An accident (i had to pull my gearbox breather up into the correct place)
b) In a worse position than it was before!

Good luck

Where is wally

I had most of the day with my new English Mistress and she will do me. Spent a bit of time exploring:

The breather on the May build is now located on the rear RHD Driver's side inboard of the chassis rail behind the axle and above the fuel tank. The open end faces to the rear:

Better?

I figure that extending the all the breathers to the engine compartment is still a good idea.

yes it looks no better to me ? It's more likely to to pick up spray from the front end as it looks like it's facing forwards.
Are they all like that or is that a one off ? Friday afternoon hodge !

Anyway after Reading all this I,ve been and sourced some long length of silicone hose in correct diameter to run to the front and up into the engine bay !

yer I know what you are saying but the amount of air coming in through the seals will fix that. + in aussie we drive with the windows open most of the time.

As long as you are happy - ive seen a couple of people who have routed battery breathers and axle breathers into the cab and suffered fumes - axles can be really bad in the water
