Again, I would like some advise. Anybody used one of the budget snorkels from Ebay? They are about 80 quid.
It looks alrite from the picture, I'm sure someone will come along and tell you that for the same money you can make a metal one in a minute though.
I have a cheap snorkel on my 200, it's held up really well and I drive on ditches alot. The only things that have broken on mine is the grill at the top and a small hairline crack to the very front where it attaches to the wing although its still water tight.

Buy cheap, buy twice?

At least if I buy the budget snorkel I can buy the budget diff guards at the same time!!!

I've just bought one of the cheap ones on lrparts.com - looks similar to ebay but apparently better built.

Yes I seen that yesterday, £75 + vat. Looks ok, might order it myself!

LR parts one ordered! But I think I will probably go for the Terrafirma diff guards as I like the slidy look!
Then save up for a winch bumper and steering guard!

I've just fitted my LRparts snorkel on disco 1, took longer than expected but i didn't use all the tools it suggests.

Mine gets delivered on Monday. Did it feel solid enough?
Also how does it fix to the wing?
You should upload a pic for us!!

The whole job went well, but it is let down by the silly oval pipe that goes from the air box to the plastic pipe that bolts to the wing. I did the usual trick of duct taping over the porous part and tried to silicon both ends onto its revelant parts. But the thing is only just long enough and hasn't sealed as good as I expected, when you wiggle the air box there is movement on the pipe. I will get some more silicon and finger it all around the pipe I think, just a bit disappointed in that part really.
I suppose if I took the whole thing off again including the part that bolts to the wing I could make it better. But the bit on the wing is spot on so I do not really want to disturb it!!
