Hi Jai. Re the spare I just got so much conflicting info regarding wheel offset that I just opted for Bill at Autoland as he has yet to let me down. I don't shoot small arms just shotguns. I would like a rifle but like you the hobbies are piling up and the rules are so restrictive. Raol Moat...

More pictures! Same job! It looks quite tidy but I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't research it a bit more. The Td5 only needs some tube, tywraps and three 2 into 1 tube connectors to do the job! Still. Took it shooting today so I got to go out in the pouring rain and sleet! Just need to...

Well I got it all fitted yesterday while the sun shined and some pictures sre added. All of them will be in an album very soon. With 20:20 hindsight I wouldn't buy a kit of eBay. All you need is a few meters of tubing, three 2 into one adaptors and a bunch of cable ties to do the job on a...

If anyone does use dinitrol please remember to wear a dust mask and goggles. It really is bad for the human body.:(

BGB. I'm one of those losers wiv a day job and I'm up at Castle Donny today and back in Luton tomorrow in my Disco. I won't risk the Defender on the motorway until autoland get me a spare wheel (I've only got four!).

Well, the snorkel went on earlier this week and the wading kit will follow soon. As before I will post loads of pictures as I go through the fitment process. I will try to do this in daylight this time as the sealant around my snorkel looks as though it was put on with a catapault:eek:. I also...

The real benefit of going to work in the dark and going home in the dark is that I don't get to see SWMBO in daylight! :rofl: It does make it awkward to make a neat job of sealing a snorkel though. :D

The sealant is a right mess but I will tidy it up in daylight. I go to work in the dark and drive home in the dark so I dont get much chance through the week. I think my wading kit is waiting for collection at the post office so that's my next job! I think the safari looks better than the...

I fitted a rather gay looking Mantec snorkel!

:scratching_chin:I think anyone that calls driving a job needs a life. Most people drive every day, on their way to proper jobs. Unless you are a traffic cop or a racing driver, driving is not a job and you are not professional drivers. I have an HGV (Well that was what it was called when I got...

Have a look at my post regarding the Mantec I've just fitted. I'm not saying it's great but it's more info for your reference

Installation piccies attached. All of my pictures are in my shared album 'Mantec snorkel' and only a select view are attached. This was a really easy installation and went well. I'm not convinced the rivnuts would provide a good seal between the snorkel and the wing so used loose nyloc nuts...

Consider it done!

I haven't fitted it yet! I will send some preliminary piccies this evening as unlike BGB I am a loser with a day job! Looking at the Mantec kit it doesn't look too challenging to fit but it is the sealing that will have to be done thoroughly.:)

My Mantec snorkel arrived yesterday so will be fitted soon. The wading kit is in the post as well. Last time I fitted stuff to my Defender people requested photos. Anyone interested in a snorkel and wading kit fitting?:)

I just had a Mantec one delivered and will be fitting it soon. It appears to be made of polythene and is quite thick so should be robust enough for what I need. Mushroom tops are more effective in extreme conditions but as I rarely drive through either the camargue or the kalahari, I guess the...

Look at my post for pre and post fit photos. The RSB kit is worth considering

Why have two sets? Last year I bough a set of steels with Insa Turbo Dakar Mud terrain tyres on for the winter and put my Boost alloys in the garage. Since then I have been to Manchester (From Luton) a couple of times and also been to Crawley, Derby and Birmingham. I intended to swap the wheels...

His forum user name is Rock-Sliders

How much?! I've just put a set of Tree sliders from Richmond Shot Blasting (Rock-Sliders) on my Defender 90 and they cost me £90 (+p&p). They look very similar to the terrafirma ones. Have a look at Richmond before you decide. They are solid bits of kit and fit very well.:)
