Ok may well end up in the festering pool of wrongness but here
goes, After finally getting MOT last November and then deceiding
that new diffs and front springs were required I got it back
from my mates garage (ASV Tidworth) on Sat eve.
Sunday took it out on the Plain

After this looked like the alternator might be playing up, but
then smashed the crank pulley into the axel and mashed the belt
so back into ASV to have it repaired. total time out of the
garage this year 23hrs. brf

That's what I was thinking, don't suppose you have any part
numbers / links for them as I can find the defener and disco
ones but only standard for the Series.

Hi
Have just fitted the 200tdi snorkel I got for Xmas, whilst i
know its more of a raised air intake than a real snorkel
Here is how it went together.
Windscreen bracket

Just needed slight bending in the vice to match the slope of the
winscreen.
Then rivet in place

Wing hole

Snorkel hole

I covered the hole with a sheet of aluminium with a plastic pipe
bracketed and sealed with sikaflex.
Plated
