land-def-90:
thanks chaps, it sounds like i have been very very lucky i do have a safari snorkel fitted but it must of leaked as the filter was still damp the next morning, engine sounds fine so will have to trace leak thanks again
Iain :D :D
extreme90:
itll be the water dump valves
i remove them and blank the holes off for every person who i fit a snorkel for
there are two, one on the plastic wing moulding and the other is on the airbox itself

...& the crappy two piece wing moulding needs sealing up properly :roll:

i did seal off the dump valve on the air filter ,i filled it with silicone (is there a better way?) but not sure how to get to the valve on air intake, i asume you have to remove the inner wheel arch. thanks guys your advice is much appreciated :)

Safari snorks on the 300tdi discard that wing crap and have their own moulding and they supply a new hose section. This is the reason why I ditched my mantec/BM style snorkel due to the awful way it mates to the standard 300tdi wing moulding and the way the crappy wing mouding only push fits to the rest of piping - YUCK. Do a suction test on the standard 300tdi with a wing mating style snorkel and the hard plastic of the standard fitting will collapse and stay that way and leak like hell.
