Thread: Snorkel for the new Defender

Should add to this post I've just ordered 2 of the new Mantec "plastic jobby" snorkels from the UK for less than the cost of one of these from the Australian importer.

They are both spoken for - my Defender and a mates - but the price difference is ridiculous and yes, that includes the cost of freight.

That'd be right, just as I order the Mantec, still a couple of points, the ARB price for the Td5 Safari Snorkel is $465, still a lot more than I paid for the Mantec and secondly the Safari web site lists the SS580HF as being for the Td4 defender, but in the detail says its for the Td5. At least the pictures correct!

No it isn't.... its a Discovery (from the same page)

For example in order to achieve the optimum air flow within the engine bay area of the Discovery, a special rubber duct was engineered to deliver a huge shot of fresh air directly into the air cleaner assembly.

Do you think they are confused or just use Cut and Paste a lot

I would like to see that special rubber duct so colourfully described as delivering a HUGE shot of fresh air...it sounds like something you'd get from K-Tel.

As for the Cut & Paste well - they have be told so hopefully its corrected soon.
