snorkel

hi Folks, I've read the threads regarding DIY snorkels for 200tdi disco. Can any one give me a set of instructions on how to make/fit my own. I'm keen, but very new to landrover. The more info the better. "idiots" guide could not be more appropriate

if yer had a series 3 i could have done one for ya but 200tdi disco is a whole different kettle of fish

well dont be an idiot then and get greg to make one out of drain pipeound:

sorry wayne

Use a drill to make a suitable hole in the wing, run some pipe outta it, connect the pipe to the air intake under the bonnet, and put some sort of rain protection on the top.

How it looks, where it runs, what side, what bore pipe you use (although bigger is better) is entirely up to you - the joys of land rover ownership!

Cheers for that. I see some go in at corner of bonnet and wing, like a mantec. that will be best idea, I guess. thanks again. Wayne

Sounds great. Can't wait to finish the project I am working on. Will be unveiled shortly.

have a word with nick75 he has just fitted a homemade snorkel to his 300 tdi disco, looks good anorl

I went in the corner off top of wing and bonnet.

Piece of tumble dryer ducting going from airbox, though hole in inner wing, run horrizontally between inner and outer wing, just being supported by cable ties.

Outer wing comes off with about 4 bolts

Straight piece of drainpipe from B*Q running up window, 45* bend, and a drainpipe bottom on the end (the bit whih goes at the bottom of a drainpipe, directing water into drain - downpipe shoe??). Glue together with plastic cement (marley solvent or something i used)

Line up the pipe along the windscreen BEFORE marking and cutting the hole.

Cut hole in wing, smooth off cut and then i slit the outer sheath of a bit of cable and put around edge of hole to neaten it up.

Put bendy pipe over drain pipe, filled gap with bathroom sealant and the did up jubilee clips. I riveted a bit of the jubilee lip to the wing to hold the bottom part in place (its hidden well). Attached the top to my light bar with cable ties.

Put wing back on

Thats about it.



Oh and to finish it off i got one of the square covers which go over the drain which the rain water goes into from the downpipe which have the circular pattern, And trimed it so it would fit into the top perfectly giving a nice gaurd

many thanks. will have bash once weather cleared.
