Welcome nice truck, saw one just like it at Nene or is that the one. I got a P and P roll cage similar to yours and need a snorkel, does your perform well.

Snorkel looks like the standard Rover version that I have fitted.
Does the job fine but causes draughty havoc with the airflow driving with the window open. Tried fitting window deflectors but no improvement. |

Thanks Laurie, which engine no you have in your truck, have you noticed any change in performance since you had the snorkel fitted.

Mine's a TD5 and I had the snorkel fitted when I bought it, so can't compare.
(List price, including fitting was £375 but got it included in the price) |

Gearbox chatter shouldnt come from the 2 inch lift, its a problem occuring for maney people without a lift!
Vibration is caused by the 2 inch lift but can be solved by fitting different props etc ... Verdone |
