If you choose not to heed our guidance, you may just find yourself desperately searching for a way to get your hands on a Lada Niva. Fifth Gear recently undertook a unique challenge. While the Niva hasn’t been sold new in the UK for years, specialty importers can still slide one your way for a small fee and a smile. The whole kit will set buyers back around £11,000, or about ,00 at current conversion rates.

I have a 02 TF Sport 3.0 TD with the factory wheel arch flairs and want to fit a snorkel. I had one ordered through a reputable dealer here in the ACT but when it came time to fit the dealer had ordered the wrong kit (for a 2.8 TD with no flares) and then tried to back out of his embarassment by telling me that they don’t make a snorkel kit for this model. I have seen Sports fitted with snorkels. Any help or recommendations appreciated.
