Haha thanks Dave, I will obviously have to lift my game.

Might have to give this desnorkelling a try, I was a tad concerned about water and crap getting in. They sure need a little bit of noise though.

Cheers mate

As long as you don't go and spray a bunch of water directly into the intake duct you should be fine.

Just to be on the safe side I'm going to cut some mesh and put it over the hole that the snorkel will be leaving once it's removed, but I'm not really worried about anything the snorkel is alleged to prevent.

Thanks O/D sounds like a plan. I was thinking along those thoughts. Will give it a go shortly.
