Hi a question that's got me thinking if you fit a snorkel ? What else have you got to do with the electrics and all the bits that don't like water is it really worth it if you don't go really off road in a big way ?
Its just one of these moments when you see a snorkel fitted to a pretty standard Jimny and you say why ?
apart from the bit it looks ok
My girlfriend and myself have a modified jimny each both have a snorkel no other breathers and both love a good swim, you occasionally get an engine light on the dash but it clears itself the day after haven't had any trouble what so ever with water related problems

I wouldn't use WD40 too much. It makes a right mess eventually.
Also, I've read somewhere that the RN or some nautical group have stopped using it 'cause it has been known to cause fatigue or something to plastics/rubbers surrounding the electrical contacts, so they use something else???
Don't know how true/factual that is but there's nothing on the telly and my medication hasn't kicked in.
The trouble is that it will affect the few 100,000volts on the ignition system. This is under the plastic cover on top of the engine and it open at one end. Therefore it is good against some quite serious splashes but once water enters the end of the cover is basically game over.
