just got a
snorkel from them. took about 2 and a half weeks, delivered to home.
however the guys who fieetd it said it was of poor quality and hard to fit- infact they wont fit anymore airflow snorkels because of the poor quality. also if you search the archives you will find a lot of comments about the poor quality of many of their products

I bought an Airflow
snorkel from them for my 96 Disco Tdi. I fitted it myself and was not impressed with the instructions or the fit. Basically the quality of the materials was OK but the dimensions were wrong, it just didn't line up with the only place for a hole in the engine compartment, though the instructions said that it would. Relocating the filter box was useless if you followed their instructions and I ended up chucking away one length of rigid tube and using flexible tubing to make it fit . Can't say I was particularly happy about it.
Once fitted it has been no problem and I was certainly glad it was there when I hit a deep pothole crossing a
Kimberley stream and had a wave up over the windscreen! ( Yes, I know I should have walked it first but I knew that a vehicle 10 minutes ahead of me had crossed OK - he missed the pothole)

I have the filter adaptor too but it's a standard pack that most outlets retail.
I have heard though Bob that there rear wheel carrier is not the best but can't say as I've experienced it myself - it's just what I heard.
