djgelling Donating Members 128 Member For: 22y 3m 4d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 22/01/05 02:49 AM Share Posted 22/01/05 02:49 AM Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere before, but I recently had the 15,000 km service done (3 weeks back). Noticed today that the standard snorkel intake appears to have been trimmed back (fairly crudely) with a knife. WTF?? can someone either point me to the right thread or inform we what the hell??

Not the most professional looking effort by Ford Oz.

I didn't think that the opening was quite that wide before and can see the seration marks from short strokes on the vertical surface of the edge.Maybe just shows how (un)observant I am.
