Been there many a time.... what do you want to know??

Word of warning... it can get very deep!!!
Went through it (well tried) in my old Series 3... got about a quarter of the way across and my bonnet disappeared under water... not good - and very cold!!! (we'd had quite a bit of rain though - so silly for trying really)

Been through it loads of times in my 90" and once in my 110"... actually it's on the way to my girlfriends from work so often have a detour!!!

usually it's only a couple of feet deep.. at most bumper depth... just check depth first!

No not yet Dave, still haven't done my rear axle breather extension yet - keep meaning to stick my head round there every time I go past Melbicks.

I do know that the snorkel is airtight tho - someone left a carrier bag over the intake after jetwashing it  :oops:  :lol:  :lol:
