I've been looking on the web for plans that I'd seen earlier this year for
making a DIY snorkel,while it don't look as good as the real McCoy you can
buy for about £250 e.g. Safari or Mantek,the appealing part was the
price,about £50 in bits and pieces from B&Q,lol!
I'm not sure,but I think it was originally on Muddytyres.org on Yahoo
groups,but the spammers have completely bo**ocksed-up that site and I can no
longer find the plans!
Can anyone point me in the right direction?Also,has anybody tried making
their own wading kit?It seems like just a load of flexible tubing to
me,surely it can't be rocket science,well not that detailed that some
bread-head has to charge in excess of £100 for?


 
Oops,I nearly forgot to state that it's a 300TDi Discovery (I think it's
without the ABS brakes)

We made our own snorkel for our V8 90. I bought the top from Matt Savage for
£25 (ish) the solid pipe is black drain pipe from B&Q and I bought a
silicone flexi to mate up to the air filter from Merlin Motor sport.
It works very well and doesnt look too bad.
I can send a pic if you wish ?

Hi Ron,

Good job. How did you bend the exhaust pipe?

See my home made snorkel at http://www.ssredman.co.uk . Great greenlaning in
Derbyshire! The second shot is taken just before the centre of the river,
which comes over the bonnet. Third picture was taken just before opening the
doors and lettign the fish out!!!

Before anyone says anything- Yes I did forget to close the air vents. No
suprising ly only my feet got wet!
BTW the snorkel is made from 68mm Marley PVC domestic rainwater pipe with
flexible hose under the bonnet that I use for work.
