The new shape ones are a substantial piece of kit, and look good, the bolts at the top nearest the door are a pig to get to unless you have wee skinny hands.
Did the old one come off in 1 piece or did you use the snorkel removal tree branch from Navman industries

hmmm there`s a surprise, amazes me there aren`t more folk called Thomas on the other side (ethnic Christian humour there )

Very subtle Mr Basil...

I thank you!

Job done Only problem is the old one was held together with silicon sealant due to the lack of fittings, and i cant get the silico off completely!!! Has anyone got any tips?

Caramac wheel aka stripe removal wheel should do the job without the need for chemicals

After spending the whole of last week trying to get the silicon off and failing i managed to damage the paint quite abit (i tried everything mentioned above but nothing seemed to work!!!) I spoke to mate of mine and he told me to try a body shop in Bham called "ndovu motors ltd"so i called them up on Saturday telling them what happened and i had the photoshoot etc, they told me to bring it in on Monday, so took it in in the morning and theyve fixed it all up also told them about the old snorkel holes so they took the new one off filled out the old holes and repainted the wing and a pillar!!!! Even though they had a warehouse full of cars to repair they did mine asap and i just got home after picking it..... well chuffed that its done before the photoshoot ))

So if anyone is in the midlands area needs work done i deffo recommend them, they get loads of trader cars to work on and insurance jobs, and it family owned business which is always a plus IMO

They also took some pics for me




Il get a finished pic in the morning

looks like they did a good job.

Good stuff mate, have you had the roof fixed yet?

I miss the job satisfaction from the old painting game, be strange when you see the mag, it'll look as if you've changed the snorkel half way through the day

Roof is getting fixed in the next couple of weeks, i contacted that dent man the guy on the OC recommended, iv sent him pics for missus car, once thats done il get mine done........ hers is much worse than mine

Fandabbydosy!

Truck has been waxed and polished all ready for the photoshoot tomo

Looks great SO what happened here then? I thought you had a photo shoot and they just needed to do the article? Or do they want some nice and clean shots?

(in a Duke of Edinburgh voice)" looks like it was made by Indians!"

Pink u confuse me!

Luke this is the 3rd time they've said they're coming but thy did say they need a clean car! The 2 previous times they didn't even bother calling and saying we won't make it today!!!! So il be Pissed of if they don't turn up tomo

OY that aint good is it! All the best Chief! Least the truck looks shiney!

Oh it was! ( made by Indians) clear B?

Come back Prince Phil, all is forgiven! Lol

Photo guy turned up just as i finished putting the winch in, all works well, but i disconnected it to put in an isolator switch. Saw some of the photos and they turned out pretty good, i took some of the shoot as well.

He mostly did feature shots of the extras on the truck, so had to remove the wheel to show brake disks etc





and best of all after all the hacking and bending the bumer has gone back to its original place showing the winch slightly

Brilliant Glad he turned up! The truck looks just that little bit more ready for business with the new snorkel and winch too
