Frequently asked questions

What is the rear axle Breather Pipe for?
The rear axle Breather Pipe vents the rear axle casing. It equalises internal air pressure as the axle heats and cools, so the casing can breathe without drawing water or debris past the differential and hub seals.
Why does the axle breather matter off-road?
A blocked or perished breather typically forces oil past the axle seals as pressure builds, or draws water in during wading. Keeping it clear protects the differential, so it's a common item to check and replace on off-road vehicles.
Which Land Rovers does this breather pipe fit?
This rear axle breather pipe fits the Land Rover Defender, Discovery 1 (1989-1998, VIN FA393361 to WA799999) and Range Rover Classic (from VIN JA610294).
