This one ^^. You can also get manifold to joint them all into one and then run a single pipe to the top of the snorkel. In that case I apologise for criticising your questionable fashion choice!!

I think axles are 1/8 bsp thread.

Ebay search the words I used above, 6mm nylon pipe, 6mm pushfit. Pushfits join existing pipe to new pipe. You do not actually need the special cover so long as you fit and remove the wading plug when not needed...

Ebay, timing cover is also on Ebay.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186022803001 Look at the pictures and it will show you a pipe layout. Others, cheaper, are available.

I use one of these LINK. And then ordered the correct size fittings to screw into the axles (I can’t remember the size). I also use a 2 into 1 y-piece for the gear bos/transfer box as they are next to each other and don’t need one each. I haven’t...

yeah i#ve seen the kits on gwyn lewis, they look like a good idea. i'm still in two minds about the badges

any idea where i order these from? and don't you need a special cover for the timing belt?

No need for the fancy breather kits, just buy some 6mm od nylon tubing and a handful of 6mm push fit connectors.

i added the stickers as they came not fitted!! i did consider not fitting them but decided to, i can always remove them at a later date. the kit also came with a panel grommet but i can't work out where it actually goes!! i haven't extended the...

Hi there, i have for sale a Shower cover for a Freelander 1 (part number is VUK500020, i bought it when i had my freelander but never used it. As far as i can tell its never been used. Looking for £200 which is way cheaper than any on Ebay...

Fitted an Offtrek snorkel/raised air intake. faff of a job which you need mr.tickle arms for, luckily i'm skinny lol. see pics @ https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/fitting-a-snorkel.392344/

Hope this helps for a guide point I paid £170+vat for a windscreen (heated) fitted recently

So since the last update we've been for a weekend in the Cotswolds (last weekend). Had a great time again, saw some cool towns and areas. Visited Clarkson's farm shop, saw some nice cars and bought some overpriced lager. Got some nice plastic...

Well i fitted it today, the pipe goes into the convoluted pipe marked in yellow with the reducer between. pipes were a faff to get off as caked mud had turned to concrete, but once of and washed they softened to make it easier. needed a bit of...

try https://www.keymoon.uk/defender.html , i had a replacement door key of them, cut to code and a picture, spot on! they do ignition keys as well

I think the gauze bit shoudl have a rubber birds beak on it, also called a dump valve, if you want a truly effective snorkel then that part needs sealing up.

yeah i've been looking on Ebay, they seem to refer to them as a water trap, i assume to let excess water out rather than in. i'll take a look from underneath to see if it really is gauze, i just reached down to see what i could feel

Hi there, i purchased an Offtrek "snorkel" of Ebay the other week and am just looking at how i install it. mounting it on the wing i have no issues with but not sure how to connect it up to the air intake pipes. It came with the pictured rubber...

Try this idea from Mike of Britanica Land Rovers

Gunk and rinse or paraffin and rinse, protect all electrics, dizzy and fusebox with plastic bags etc ...

I use TFR and rinse it with a hose, careful on bare Ali though. Washed it with a sponge before blasting with pressure washer. In general I can't be bothered so blast the top of engine with brake cleaner and an old t shirt. It's not even my truck...

Get an old paint brush for the stubborn bits ...

Oil keeps the rust at bay, not in bay ... ;)

Wash my engine bay 🤣 🤣 I washed the windscreen last month that will do it until the winter. :):)

I take the engine and gearbox out, then clean the oil stains and then just put it back in ready for it to fail it's next MOT.

I like Gunk and a reasonably stiff(ish) brush, followed by more Gunk and then a jetwash on its medium to low setting.. Avoid the delicate bits like the radiators and intercooler etc and dont concentrate the spray into the fuses, alternator or the...

ha ha!! thats the best laugh i've had all day!!

Great advice, thankyou. its a TDi diesel so no dizzy to worry about. good plan for the airline, i haven't got one but do have a pump i got for blowing a paddling pool up and i use it for blowing the water off my motorbike once i've washed it...

evening all, any recommendations for cleaning engine and engine bay? i've always avoided doing this following a near disaster 30 years ago with a Talbot samba (long story!!) , but want to give my 110 300tdi a spruce up in the engine department...
