First sorry about the spelling, can never spell beaulea right, and nether can my spell checker! lol. Anyway, they normally have an 'old sodbury's' venue in either april, may and or september. But cant find it in any of the forthcoming dates in the mags. Has anyone got the dates for the venue...

If I'd of had that on mine it would of been sooo much easier! But I didnt have the side vent and inner conector, thats why I cut that bit off the bottom of the snorker, cut a hole the size of the rubber flex pipe on the snorkel on top of the wing, put it through there, and connected it to a...

I haven't got any wing vents on my landy. (It's an old 87 90) so had to do some adaptions. Basically I cut the bottom bit off where it goes to the side vent, and drilled a large hole on top of the wing, and put it through the top of the wing! It sounds a botch, But it looks good I think, (i'll...

Thanks for the pic! As said below, going to take it off again, and see if I can get mine something like yours.

Standard I think. I may take it off again and see what I can do to get it higher, even if it means taking the whole system off again. It's fine as it is for the road, but think even on a quite heavily 'rutted' lane, it will snag something. And I dont want to fork out for a new exhaust!

when i've found, and done mine which im planning to do in the next couple of days, as my kits just arrived, I'll take some pics of where they are and post em up for you. Not sure about your airbox though, As I have a metal cylinder as my airfilter. I'm sure someone will tell you though. :)

I think you must have a slightly differant system to mine, as for one thing If I tried to put my box in the possition yours is in, my tow bar support bars would be totally in the way. There is no other way I can have my rear box other than the silencer box hanging down at a bit of an angle to...

The plot thickens! lol. It must be an add on surely? Can anyone who HASN'T got one fitted at around 87 say so? or anyone who has had an mot under the new rules who hasn't got one fitted, did it pass?? I need to get to the bottom of this before my MOT. Thanks in advance.:confused:

I'm even more confused now then :confused: So was yours rigged up from new, or have you or someone else wired it up? If so how? was it done with some sort of toggle swithh on the handbrake mechanism? Mine has no wiring at all going to it, so it obviously wasnt fitted with one. I'm just...

it's odd though that you have a light icon for a handbrake on your dash pod, (thats what threw me) but nothing connected to it. Was it an optional extra or something at the time?

I think if you have fitted towing sockets they have to be working right. (same goes with all add ons) but if you havent got them they cant test what isnt there.

Thanks guys! I just wanted it confirming that there wasnt one fitted, therefore I doesnt apply to me! Phew! lol. I fairly new to land rovers, but learning all the time!

Apparently soon the MOT is to include wiring, plus a few other things. (see list below) And apparently one of the things they are including amoungst other stuff is your parking brake light must be working. I dont think mine ever has! I have an 87 defender 90. Can I ask if anyone else has a...

Ah right! Thanks guys! Why do they always put things in awkward places where you cant see them without taking stuff apart! :5bcuss:

I've just put a disco 200tdi in my 87 defender with the LT77 box, I've rigged up a snorkel, and made everything water tight (i think anyway) But I want to do the same with the axles and gear/trasfer box. The wading kit I am getting cosists of all the connections, plus piping, and main consol I...

Sounds like a plan! Thank you.:)

More options then! Thank you. :)

Ok thanks guys! looks like I've got some thinking to do. Would prob be best to put back on ebay then.:frown:

I had a V8, but now have fitted a 200tdi disco engine with the disco airfilter. So i have to go to landrover then to get the internal fitting kit do I? Thats a pain. Why dont they supply the whole thing with the snorkel! after all your going to need it :rolleyes: Thanks for the advice. I will...

Just to clarify, are you saying my silencerless middle section is illegal? or is it ok providing I have my back silencer? is it just that you have to have at least one silencer box? if so, chopping off my rear silencer wouldnt be an option then legally? Sorry to hear you got pulled by the way!:(
