Hi all.
I had a snorkel fitted to my 1999 GU Patrol nearly 5 years ago. I have recently noticed that just under the snorkel where it enters the front guard rust bubbles have become evident. I will have to go and get this fixed before it gets worse (so much for the Counteract electronic rust protection). Hate to think what is behind the snorkel. Is this a common occurence that I will have to have repaired every so many years or could it be that it was just not installed properly in the first place, ie. sealant on the cut metal.

I have just recently found this site and think it is great. Think I will have to join. I have spent hours reading through the archives. Can be pretty hard to pick fact from fiction (truth from wishful thinking) with some of the responses for the more technical stuff. Very confusing at times, otherwise great.
See you aout and about.

Matt.
