    It's an auction, worth a look to see if price doesn't go too high.

    Edit: Maybe not, seller has 0 feedback. If you pay by paypal however they are pretty good with their insurance, and the feedback might help keep the price down.
    Cheers. I'll try to get someone I know locally to get it and pay cash and then post it to me to avoid any fraud. I've bidded $400.00 as its the equivalent of the cost of getting one from the UK. Hopefully I'll get it cheaper!

    This is what I was quoted last year:

    £257.76 (£178.51 for snorkel + £79.25 delivery).

    Works out at exactly 400AUD.
    $422 is still a good price though

    Just noticed you won the snorkel
    Winning bid:AU $375.99
    Only about $30 more than the airflow brand ones, not bad!

    Nah, I didn't win it. My maximum bid was $370.01 as the seller wouldn't give me a freight quote so I needed to leave some room for that (the box was too large for AusPost and so would of been a courier job).

    Airflow, that's what the brands called, ta. http://airflowvector.com/index.php I can't find a Discovery TD5 unit listed on there site though, but it seems that they now make there heads removable (which they didn't used to and it was a complaint of the brand) and offer 3.5" and 4.5" larger heads and prefilters in there accessory range which I find impressive. I might take another look at these!

    Sorry, I out bid you.

    I hope to fit it tomorrow fingers crossed.

    The seller seemed genuine, a self employed installer selling off stock from customers cancelled orders.

    I spoke to the gentlemen from Snorkel Kits for 4x4, SUV and 4WD off-road vehicles - last week. They are currently waiting on there order of Discovery 2 snorkels to arrive from the manufacturer - they're already a month, almost two overdue - they will be added onto there website when they arrive.
    He advised that the heads are not fixed and are removable unlike the one piece cheapo units you can find from the UK.
    I'm awaiting there arrived in order to check out the quality of them.
