Smile Cheap snorkel

What do you think, cost zero, had to do a few repairs this weekend, lucky I decided to strip the winch completely as was winching last Sunday with it underwater by a foot plus, filled the gearbox full of thick muddy crud, washed it all out and re-greased, must try not to do that in future, also had to change an alternator as making loads nasty noise, moved the coil pack to the rear engine bulkhead to try and keep it dry, and discovered three hidden drain hole in the distributor, trouble is they let muddy water in when level is above distributor, inside of distributor cap was coated with thin film of mud, holes blocked off and of course I now have a snorkel, on the down side went to adjust the Wife's rear brakes, only got as far as removing one drum, put it straight back on again, and will be ordering two cylinders and a set of shoes tomorrow, so all in all a busy weekend, but at least I am ready for Slindon next Sunday, Rick
