Thread: Little quiz

I'm still trying to work out how to scam the missus to get a snorkle. If I drowned the vehicle and said "see hon if I had a snorkle that wouldn't have happened" I still wouldn't get it, I'd have to spend the dough on rebuilding the V8 :?

PS: I see you re-fitted your snorkel filter [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Er yes, it was pretty much undamaged and served as coffin to several locusts recently.

For everyone else, I ripped it off while competing on a trials day. However, that's nothing compared to the string of parts left by a Disco II!!!!

I'v been trying to get one to fit my snorkel , but apparently the diameter
is an odd size. I may have to make an adaptor piece.

Yes, the 7-inch's neck is too small. The 12-inch, which is what I have (and a precleaner, too) is too large, but that's easily fixed with a bit of 3mm rubber.

I am told the 12-inch is too large for the TD5 which doesn't suck enough to properly get the air swirling, and the 7-inch is the go, with an adaptor. Let me know you get on. There were two TD5 Defenders with such adaptors at the LROCV field day.

I doubt the large (12") would physically fit mine anyway.
Intend nosing around at work for something which might do the job.
Might catch up with you at the next trial and have a chat , if your going ?

Cheers Davo

rmp -- are you going to put us out of our misery?

I already did, see my post further up!

Don't worry about me, I have gone bonkers!

How is the water tank going? How many litres? Where have you located the tap? and finally.....how do you stop people from ****in in your tank? Serious!

Just point out reback mis fortune and say see, a snorkel is a small investment to prevent this happening. Tell her its fine if we dont get one, but you have to pay for the motor rebuild if it has a drink. Matt

The water tank is going nowhere, it's bolted into the vehicle. 50L. The tap is attached to the tank. Nobody can put anything into the tank without a drill as the input valve is locked, similar to a long-range fuel tank.
