No.  Not as far as i know the washer bottle is inside the wing on the mark 2 and i think the air box is in a different place (I think).  There is one for the Mk. 2 which comes with a new washer bottle but be aware that you'll need to wrap it in something cos they're really thin and have a habbit of splitting and letting all the washer fluid out..........and when I say ALL I mean the cup full that they hold! :shock:

I have heard of people relocating the stock washer bottle on the bulkhead but they are big old things and I've never seen it done, so can't say HOW they did it.

Also the mk2 one is the thick end of £100 more expensive.

Have to agree with Chris re protecting the washer bottle from experience they are very easy to hole thru vibration etc.

Hang fire on that one then lefty.  It would appear that we are going to see if you can make the Mk.1 type fit a Mk.2 :wink:

and no, it was aimed at Mr 'I keep the valeters in business' Gazjeep. :D

I had a look under the bonnet of a mk1 with a snorkel a few weeks ago and the airbox seemed to be in the same place from memory. I didn't have my car there for comparison though...

With all the rain and melting snow here, the bomb holes at nortrak have a bit more water than usual and i reckon a snorkel might save me grief 9and a fooking huge bill) in the future...
