Home made snorkel

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 ? Richard

Hi Ron,

Good job. How did you bend the exhaust pipe?

Not the most aesthetic kit but fairly robust.

All the best
