Have you tried looking for Safari replica snorkel on Ebay? I got one for the Disco (never used and is for sale lol) at nearly a third of the price of an offical one. Really good quality too.

Well I'll be down the barn from around 9ish I reckon. Give me 4 hours to hit as many things as I can with the hammer............

They seem to have fixed heads and I would prefer to be able to reverse the air ram.

All this rain and no snorkel
How can they justify the price. Need to get some parts sold and get one ordered ASAP, along with the springs, ext brake hoses, winch bumper and sliders.

whats wrong with these ones.

Looks OK, but I need one for a 200 tdi (fits on the NS).
Says they sell them but nothing listed on their shop, so I've messaged them.
Would prefer one without an exposed flexible liner but at that price its a no brainer.

Co-Pang-Yang · Sep 26, 2012

I have one now

Saw yours on the suffolk forum and have to say you have yourself a bargain!
Good find.
Just ordered myself some security. Seem to be spending £££ at the mo.

Co-Pang-Yang · Sep 26, 2012

Cheers mate, found it whilst glued to the for sale forums on my week off.
Need to arrange my own security too asap, thinking about a steering lock or pedal box maybe

Guys, ive just spent £300 on bulkhead bits i need. One last item is part number 505205. John Craddocks sell it for £1.60, LR Direct (who seem to be cheaper than anyone else on most things) dont list it, and Britcar want £26 Can anyone look it up on the parts system to check what it is? Craddocks say its 'BOLT ON LUCAR BLADE TERMINAL 9/32 ID HOLE (505205)' and Britcar just say its a Connector.
Can anyone shed any light?

Well done Mikey, top man for offering to help Geof good to see

Was bored today so I decided to give my new spray gun that I bought at billing ago, decided to paint the wheels in hamerite gloss black, think they came out ok

So now what else can I paint

think the old girl might get a new coat of paint over the winter when I strip her down to sort the chassis

Depends how much you want to spend mate they should all fit, you can also get billet aluminium ones but think they are about £180 a set

Drizz · Sep 26, 2012

Yeah. The difference between early and lates £12. Ill just get early ones. Theyll rust in no time anyway lol

I bought my snorkel from paddocks for about £70, it's decent quality as well, bolts straight on...

I'm looking to change mine some time Nick. It keeps coming away from the wing, if I was you I'd look for a southdown.

paulesc · Sep 26, 2012

I bought my snorkel off eBay about a year ago. Looks the same as that on. It's been fine

666 george · Sep 26, 2012

How about this one Nick.

Took the 110 for a drive. First right hand turn and a mass of water come in just above passenger door. I think it ran along the gutter and found a route in between the door and roof. Then the dash lights went out and then the radio stopped working (no signal).
I know I shouldn't complain, especially when Geoff has a lot bigger issues, but.... I'm finding this car difficult to love.

Just wait till it happens on the driver's side, your going to get a wet leg.

You'll learn to brake sharp & turn left, then it runs down the window & not your leg.
