Hi Ralph

I think this is the J-H5 and GT set-up - an axle breather hose vents to the inside of the chassis rail above the axle. Also found on the Vauxhall Viva HC. Presumably it was intended to keep water from entering into the breather hose. It would at the same time have applied any vented oil/vapour to the inside of the chassis rail, reducing corrosion risk! In the J-H 4-speed parts manual the hose is not shown and instead there is a simple vent (Jensen part number 93802), presumably a plastic one way valve screwed into the breather hole in the axle.

Best wishes,
Nigel
