    Snorkel for the new Defender

    I am doing a 'want' list for a new defender 130 I propose to lease next March so I rang offroad equipment in Perth regarding a snorkel and the response was that Safari had not developed one for the new defender. So have all you new defender owners had the factory snorkel fitted? What aftermarket snorkels (if any) are available.

    Thanks

    Until Safari develop a new model a Safari snorkel can be made to fit (the 300Tdi version I think).

    Opposite Lock in Rockdale Sydney have done a few including Xavie's former Fender (now Tolinja's).

    Regardless of make the big issue seems to be making sure that the entire assembly is sealed to prevent water ingress.

    I contacted Rovacraft and they can supply a Mantec snorkel for the new fender, cost is $700.00 incl. GST.

    It's probably worth ordering one directly from the UK. Best price I could work out was closer to $500 including delivery. This is for the "new plastic jobby" which I quite like the look of - but I second the need to properly seal it when you install it.

    I bought a Mantac "New Plastic Jobbie" from a company in Perth, and it was around $550 delivered to Adelaide. If you can't find a suppler let me know and I'll go looking for the invoice to help you out.

    Thanks,
    the supplier's name would be appreciated, apparently the factory fitted snorkel is $1140.00 which I consider is highway robbery. I am expecting the lease quote on Monday, I have requested the 134L fuel tank, winch bar, lightforce 240 blitz spotties and an alloy tray. Other accessories like dual batteries, overhead console, UHF CB radio etc I will purchase and fit myself. Also planning to fit a detroit locker in the rear.

    Regards

    I can 't find the invoice, but I did find some very high quality stubbie coolers that they sent with the snorkel (included in the price!) with their details.

    Try - RovaCraft (08) 9377 0080.

    They were excellent. It arrived in about 3 days so I was pretty happy with that.

    Cheers

    That's interesting as Rovacraft's quote to me was $700.00. When it's time to purchase one I'll use your quote as a lever for a better price.

    Thanks

    Maggsie - not to sway you one way or the other - Safari have just finished 'guinea pigging' my TD4. It wont be long until the new snorkle is available. As soon as Peter / Dean at Safari let me know I'll post up the availablility. They are in development (rumor only) with a new style also but thats not confirmed.
    I only picked up the finished product last week from Boronia and they did a great job.
    Come March i would say the new model will be readily available.
