Speaking to another parent at the kid's school yesterday - they have 110 which they've driven all over the place over the years. A couple of days ago they left the house to discover that some thieving toe-rag had carefully unscrewed and removed the snorkel from their Landy. To add insult a couple of days later someone tried (and failed) to hotwire the engine, leaving the ignition wires all over the place and the column shroud damaged. I can understand some scroat trying to nick a Landy, maybe for a spot of ram-raiding, but stealing a snorkel would really only be of use to another 110 owner, and someone who knew how to remove it - that's pretty poor AC.

I am guessing this was a mantec _style_ one? ISTR the Safari bolts from the inside with no visible way to get it off (well it does on the D1..)

I am guessing this was a mantec _style_ one? ISTR the Safari bolts from the inside with no visible way to get it off (well it does on the D1..) (and it wasn't me!) This reminds me: Marge has a TDi from a discovery fitted to replace her TD engine which let go expensively a while back. In the absence of a matching air filter box she just has the snorkel at the moment. I want to improve the situation (should have done it ages ago really), so can the team recommend an air filter tin that might fit? It's the snorkel that makes things awkward really... Thoughts appreciated. Regards, Simonm.
