Frequently asked questions

What is the FTC5085 breather adaptor used for?
The FTC5085 breather adaptor is a threaded fitting in the axle and transfer case ventilation system. It screws into the casing and gives the breather hose a sealed connection point, letting internal air pressure equalise as the unit heats and cools while keeping water out.
Where does the breather adaptor fit on the vehicle?
The breather adaptor screws into the axle casing or transfer case housing, wherever a breather hose connects. On these Land Rovers it's used on rear axle assemblies and the transfer case, typically at a high point so water can't easily enter.
Which Land Rovers use the FTC5085 breather adaptor?
The FTC5085 fits the Land Rover Defender (1987-2016), Discovery 2 (1998-2004) and Range Rover P38 (1994-2001), on the axle breather and transfer case ventilation points. Check your existing fitting, as breather setups vary between axle types.
How many breather adaptors does a vehicle need?
A vehicle typically has several breather points, one per axle and one or more on the transfer case, so the number of FTC5085 adaptors you need depends on which fittings you're renewing. Buy one per breather location you plan to replace.
