Thread: Snorkel for 2012 Defender.

Fitted a Mantec to my new Puma 110.
Call Craig at Ritter. Great to deal with.
I fit mine myself, drilling in 4 places and a Rivnut gun is required. Otherwise they can install for you.
I'm guessing $500 installed.

(Guessing as I didnt get them to install it)

Good question. This is the explanation from my dealer regarding fitment of aftermarket accessories in general...

This is a common misunderstanding amongst the general public.

Fitment of an aftermarket accessory to a vehicle does not void the entire warranty.

Warranty is only affected if the failure of a genuine component that would normally be warranted is caused by the failure / fitment of the aftermarket component.

For example – if the sealant used in the air box was not sensor safe and caused failure of the intake system sensors then they would not be warranted.

That doesn’t mean that if a water pump started leaking it wouldn’t be covered under warranty being that it’s a totally unrelated system.

Hope this makes things clearer for you.

What sealant should be used on the airbox then haha?

I would recommend a Permatex Ultra Blue Multipurpose RTV Silicon Gasket Maker which is Sensor Safe.

In future I will be supplying a tube with each kit.

Nugget where are you getting this product from so i can go get some to reduce risk with my kit i got a short time ago, ta.

It is available at most auto shops but certainly Auto Bahn and Supa Cheap

Where does everyone source their Mantec snorkels? Just looking, and most UK companies charge 100GBP for postage, and then all the local suppliers charge the typical 50% surcharge.
