I made my snorkle out of cardboard tube then when it fitted I copied it in steel tube from an exhaust place total cost including the top £48 .

piccies in my gallery http://www.mud-club.com/galleries/lee+celtic/snorkel (http://www.mud-club.com/galleries/lee+celtic/snorkel)

inside the wing the tube goes straight to the hole in the inner wing and has a 90 degree silicon bend off ebay onto the air box (200 tdi)

good luck  :D

sorry not got back about dash lights been a bit mad this end right hear goes asuming you still need das light layout , ours goes like this top left break light the same one will come on on ours if sencor pads fitted to tell you when pads need changing or if you havent quite got hadbreak off also if you need to top the fluid levale up, topright is hight beem (odvious) next one on ours is engin oil light  will also stay on if the wire has come off the sencor on (which I think is the one you are rifering to) or low oil or if filter is blocked, next on ours is fog light , next on some (not ours is also abs) the other two IM looking through the hains book of lies as am learning to with Discos

Not sure if the 200 is the same as the 300, but on mine that doubles as a brake fluid level warning light. Just pop the lid off the brake fluid header tank/reservoir and have a look.
