Hey guys,

Hi all,

just reading this thread as I am about to get a snorkel fitted to my Safari. Now I read you would need "diffs, transfer case and gearbox breathers" fitted as well, what does that mean? Is...

Hi,

Hi AB!
Thanks for the link, I will get in touch with them and hopefully they ve got what I am after hehe. Finding a roof rack that fits a safari is in deed a bit of a pain, at least if you want to...

Helllllo guys,

I am after a lock for a 89 GQ glove box, extra tall roof racks and the left side air vent thingy (?!). I am located at the sunny coast if you maybe know someone who might have those...

Hey guys,
Well I ve looked around the Forum and I am even more confused now. I ve got a GQ with Maxxis Bravo 751 tyres. It says 41psi max on the tire, when I bought the car they were on 25 psi, i...

Sorry for the late reply Yendor, I will check that tomorrow and usually I just check the fuses with a torch light and see if the metal part in there is still in one piece.
thanks so far

Hey good idea I will see how that goes I am not too bothered about original ones anyways....
thanks

Hey Bigrig,
Yes I do have that black cover and behind the left battery the box with the fuses for tge starter headlamp etc. Do I have to check the relays as well? Because I saw some more beside the...

Well Enzed did a good job, 190$ not too bad.
Still cant figure out why the Air Con and Radio wont come up. How can I fry a radio without the fuse going? As it is a 24V car there must be a inverter...

I rang Enzed he said it will be about 190$, now I know why my parents always warned me and said bUy a German car haha.:) Anyways I hope he can get it fixed and I ll be back on the road tomorrow. I...

Hey guys,

I am not good with mechanics but its been a bad day with my Safari so far. I have oil leaking out of a hose that is connected to a black container next to the battery on the right hand...

Great shots mate, I ve been in the mud 2day as well...so fun!!!!

Well i guess you buy a Safari Snorkel kit and it comes with all you need to make it fit and properly seal it, right? This would speak against the DIY or 2nd hand ones.

So true, I saw there are some DIY Snorkel threads in the Forum or I might find a 2nd hand one. Anyways you guys made me feel its better to have one on the vehicle.
cheers chris
