    Floods up the east coast

    Good mate of mine lives in inner Sydney thought he would take a drive up the east coast to visit the ship that ran a ground and drop in to the estate he has just purchased house and land in never made it to Stockton beach as the rain was just getting to full on and the hwy was turning into a car park with all the 2wd cars pulling over.

    He went awfully quiet for a while

    He must have been absolutely ****ting himself. I know I would have. Not that I would have gone in unless I saw someone else do it first.

    engine dosnt sound very happy when he gives it a bootfull towards the end. might pay to have a look see inside the filter housing etc

    a lesser driver probably would not have made it thru from the looks of things

    The only thing with snorkles is you don't know if they are water tight or fitted corectly untill you do somthing like that
    The amount of people that put snorkle on to a defender and then think it is ok to do that stuff . But forget to seal up the rubber value (dust value) on the bottom of the air filter and then the water gets in there and damages the engine anyway

    Great point...Rattling roads up north caused me to lose a bolt..only noticed it yesterday when I was re tightening everything.. the bottom of the Snorkel had come away from the body seal.... Im going to silicone it in place when I replace the fitting to make double sure.
    Also the moisture outlet on the Air cleaner canister is nearly always fatigued...
