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
I'd be interested in seeing a pic, I'm thinking of making one for my
110.Regards. Mark.(AKA, Mr.Nice.)
I'd be grateful if you could send me a pic if you don't mind please Richard!
Thanks in advance mate!
Just sent pics
Richard
Where have you sent them Richard? They're not showing up in my inbox?
sent them to the email address thats in your message Richard
I've just double checked my inbox,and there's nothing there! The best option then would be my Hotmail inbox:- ChristopherHarris snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com Could I ask you a big favour mate,could you please re-send the pic to this inbox instead please?
okay, sent again to that one.
Cheers Rich! I've finally got your pics of the Landy and Snorkel,and it looks quite a decent job too!

Hi Ron,
Good job. How did you bend the exhaust pipe?

Not the most aesthetic kit but fairly robust.
All the best
