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?? :spoton:

OK, thanks.

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.

I was going to ad, .... " I don't think mine looks that bad" ... but it does :(

nevermind, It does the job... I can't see the purpose in the SS Inductions item.. but I'm not rocket scientist.
