The Disco has come up quite well with just a good was - 90% of the 'scratches' washed off. I'm going to leave the polishing for now - too much other stuff to do first.

Anyway, thought I'd go and bang some of that dust we were driving through, out of the air filter.

2 things I notice;

1) I've found the rest of the mud - the engine is covered. I guess the fan went in the muddy water. Must have been when I briefly parked so that 90boy could play with his tow rope. What's the best way to clean the engine? Can I just go at it with the hose pipe like I did the underneath???

2) I was a little worried by the amount of mud under the air filter. It was all before the filter, but it means quite a lot splashed in the air intake!!!! How much were those snorkels?

I found it a lot less stressful on the second day when the Disco was already scratched

My wife told a friend today that I was 'saving up for a snorkel'....I wonder if that's the first sign of accepting the inevitable :D

Though I think I might just make one out of a bit of pipe - I don't know wat all the fuss/expense is about -it's just a bit of pipe!!
