what a load of rubbish!!
Given the relative cross sections of the snorkle and the breather pipes, the pressure drop you'd see at the breather pipe would be negligable. ok, if you block the snorkel you might have a viable situation, but then it'll stall the engine, or leak from somewhere else.
I've had my axle breathers in the top of my snorkle for about 3 years, no problems what so ever.
I'm interested in this thread.
I am fully intending to SVA my range rover build, as it's had extensive chassis modifications, as well as much altered body work.
don't assume that.
Some LED bulbs have diode circuitry so they can ignore polarity, some don't. Of course, a filament bulb doesn't care about polarity.
I'd use a multimeter.
You could test the polarity sensitivity of the new and old bulbs on the bench.

Though it's changed a bit since that photo, the back of the roof is mostly mig'd on.

dismantle the drum and clean and rebuild the expander and adjuster, it doesn't take that long.
adjust the shoes up properly using the (now clean!) adjuster and it should be easy to get it sorted for three clicks, assuming your transfer box isn't leaking oil onto the shoes.
My Mantec one uses the top of the tub and the rear crossmember, I'm quessing fitting will vary between makes tho - you'd need to know what make it was to know exactly how it fits.
can't you/he just offer it up and see where the holes match?
That's a voltmeter, not an ammeter, but yes, it's charging the battery, if that reading is accurate.
muddy water and brush packs do not mix well. Assuming (dangerous, i know) you've got an A127 style alternator, removing the brush pack is straight forward and pretty quick.
Normally I do it just trickleing forward, second year usually, clutch in, just feeling the transfer lever into mesh.
I've done it at higher speeds, double de-clutching, when i've got moving and not wanted to slow down again.
Low box is rather useful for Sheffield traffic jams! I wonder how many clutches i'm burning out behind me.
I've thought about making a single bunk, Fold the passenger seat forward and make the base go across the top of the bulkhead, from windscreen to rear door.
