Lol, not so much a kit as it's much more like what $60 in supplies from a local DIY wil get you.The install was fairly easy, I've qualified the "easy" here because the gearbox and trans case breathers can be a right pain-in-the-ass to get at but nothing a bit of determination and some WD-40 can't solve.
The TD5 axle breathers are not threaded, but the push to fit type lines. So I pulled the plugs out with a vise-grip and tapped a new 1/4" NPT to receive the compressor lines that you see above. here's the plug before I pulled it out
The Gearbox carries a torx plug and if your defender is "well-travelled" like mine then after you strip this trying to get it out, it may be a good idea to replace it with a common diff/plumbing plug. After joining everything together I've just run the main hose up the snorkel and Voila! Job done!
