well the car washes were shut so i give it a miss i see my snorkel top is pretty tight on there, i reckon it has to be worth a laugh,

it looks really cool sat next to the bmws in my work carpark covered in mud and it has two free bays next to it as i dont think anyone wants to park near it lol

what you need is a hardcore welded on snorkel top like ours ;) you're all mad anyway taking a land rover through a carwash.... you'll come out as wet as the landy

Get your local east European lot to do it. They seem to be springing up everywhere. My local one is £8 for Jetting down, hand wash, wheels cleaned, fully dried, wheels and tyres dressed, windows cleaned inside and out.

 Even after a days laning and it's filthy they don't complain.

 Now that aint bad i don't think.  :wink:

watch the tyres though some tyre safety group reckons aiming a pressure washer straight at the tyres can severely damage the sidewalls. It;s in the news article on LRUKForums.
