Just wondering if people have a prefered brand of snorkel for a 97 TDI Disco and what I should be expecting to pay for one and the expected fitting costs.

Looking at getting a safari at this stage unless anyone has a reason not to.

Thanks

Maybe do a search this topic has been dicussed ad infinitum on this forum.

Nothing wrong with the Safari - I have has one on for 4 years no problems.

You can expect around $600 fitted at a LR specialist place.

You can get them on ebay at the moment for $325 plus delivery if you want to fit it yourself.

Arb quoted me $595 fitted


Or make a Stainless steel on ( this is what I am doing )

The ones on ebay are Airflow not Safari and for nearly half the price i would go with the Airflow- i got my Safari for $300 to my door :D.

I was reading through past posts on this and there was some people on here who bought snorkels for around the $200 mark. I am inetested in one at that price for sure! Else, make your own up.

I bought an Airflow and fitted it to my Disco TD5 yesterday. Very happy with the price at $295 but pretty hard to fit it and get it right. I had to fab up an oval extension to add on to the moulded piece that goes inside the guard to ensure a watertight join with the existing pipework from the airbox. I'm not convinced it is 100% watertight even now.
The template and instructions are not real flash either, but at $295 i can't complain.

Mines an Airflow and seems to work well, we have smoke bombed it to see if it is air tight and it is but I didnt fit it and I dont know how hard they are to fit.

Ive fitted an 80 series and a Pootrol one before and it wasnt brain surgery but did take a fair bit of time to get them right.
