Before i set off home last night, i lifted the bonnet to find the pipe connecting the snorkel disconnected. I reconnected and drove home with no problems. I've bought a Mud console, so whilst i'm at it i'll remove the dash and double check the wiring just in case.

Sorry to be so thick, but is the breather pipe whats commented to the snorkel/side vent?

I'll check it all out when i get home tonight. Thanks for the help.

The guy's sealed that vent and installed a section of 'drain' pipe to raise the intake. I turned of both the fan on the left side and turned the hot to cold on the right.

I'm sure it was smoke, i wasn't sure if it could be wiring. But its strange that it went away when i turned the heating off. Could it be something to do with the heater intake as the guy i bought it off modded a raised intake.

The defender

I was driving into work this morning with the heater on, 20mins into the trip smoke started to poor out of the dash. I turned the heating off and dropped the window for it to clear, which it did. i have not tried the heater again but i made it to work ok. I keep going out to check and everything...

Fantastic, i'll have a look into them both for £££££. Thanks

I've just seen the Land Rover genuine one, would this be as good. I also want it to be easy to remove for when i go off road.

Thanks for the advice, could you recommend a manufacture?
