No help for your 200Tdi but PA Blanchards are selling NIB Ex MOD 300Tdi snorkel kits for under £70. 
ps there is a spare 200Tdi sitting on a driveway in the village, not sure if the bloke would sell, he was talking about putting it in a Series.

Paddocks are always reasonable, £57 plus VAT, quality is ok as well.

I got one of the safari style for slightly ore than the paddocks one. Onlybecause I thought it looked neater.
However it is all plastic so likly to crack if bounced of a tree.Paddocks are the steel tube with flexible tubes - so more give here should the Dru take a liking to the side of the car. ;)

Maybe not so cheap, but I bought a Southdown stainless steel job. I wouldn't trust the type where your wing becomes a gasket between plastic parts - too prone to leak when it counts. Think the Southdown was £135.

I got a version of this for my 300TDI, I was pleasantly surprised when I realised it was metal.  No complaints from me
