Thanks, it's a series heater vent, for the K&N under the wing, the snorkel isn't connected

Ah - i see - just for show eh
The snorkels on the near side are a bugger to plumb in under the heater box

You guys got quite a bit of snow in places ?
We took the disco out for a spin, did the charitable thing and took a stranded guy from a bus stop to his place of work.
Had a little play, found that the TC works really well if you let it work.
Quietly impressed with my purchase

Had a good drive in the snow. Wasn't sure if the centre diff was locking as the warning lamp was flickering. Seemed to drive ok so I decided its a dodgy wire
Got home, did a search to see how to check the diff is locking. All is good with the difflock doing its thing. Must be the bulb, wires or switch.
Will wait till its not so cold to fix it...

Introduced the Freelander to deep snow on Dartmoor. Performed well in deep snow, thanks to the new VCU from Bell Engineering, a plug for them. Managed to rescue an Astra Van, which was well stuck. Bring on more snow!

Oh yes, I got it for free, and I think plumbing them in is a false sense of security
If it was easier I would have probably done a quick swap job from K&N to snorkel , southdown one's are a bit more fool proof IMO, there isn't an inaccessible joint in the intake pipeSadly not, but definitely going out for a play with em tomorrow

Get some cardboard and wrap the foil round it - thats what my dad used to do on his old cars.....
I've not done anything but I've been thinking about it. It broke down on me the other night, with the engine cutting out and failing to restart. If you leave it for an hour or so it will restart and then cut out again after a minute or two. It kind of suggests fuel starvation. Looking on here at what people have done about similar symptoms, I shall start with the fuel system: the pump (Clanforbes), the filter (CharlesY) and then maybe move on to the injector seals (Buckshot) but will leave that 'til last as it's a bigger job and involves taking the rocker shaft out. Also on my list of possible culprits are the MAP, MAF and crank position sensors. They may not cause the problem in its entirety but may not be helping. I've also checked for oil contamination in the engine loom, but it's nice and dry. I changed the injector loom at the end of September anyway, and it seems to be holding out.
