I think they're pretty useless, as the Freelander alternator sits pretty low, so if you go in water over the specified 40cm you're likely to need to replace the alternator, which isn't cheap. So in my humble opinion, a snorkel is only going to be cosmetic, and not actually increase the wading depth of the car.

Sorry to be a killjoy.

Brave man taking a freelander into water, best just to drive it into a lake without the snorkle

surely the silly low cost of the 1.8 gaylander petrol,you could afford to drive it into deep water and if the doors fall orf just buy another gaylander
