Snorkel Kit Land Rover Discovery 300 Tdi & 3.9 V8 - S33 - eBay 4x4 Accessories, Exterior, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 03-Jul-09 09:59:30 AEST)

has anyone got one of these are they any good i asume they may not seal like a safari would but thats nothing sikaflex wont sort out what your thoughts and experiance is the extra cost for a a safari justafiable

I have been lead to believe that they are a bugger to fit.
I did see a template of a second hand one offered on ebay a while back...... there were words on the template to use it as a guide only. It worried me that the Airflow snorkel template could not be used as a 100% assurance that the holes you have to drill will be in the correct spots.

that will just be to cover there own ass so that if you sutff it up its not a problem that ends up on there veranda but i see where your coming from

I have an airtech snorkle....which is made by TJM. I contacted TJM and asked if they had a template for a disco. (they actually sent me both for a disco and a defender) but the template was useless as a number of front holes were out big time.

So I would reccomend to anyone fitting a snorkle to use the template as a GUIDE.

so how did you do it just by eye

Yeah i have an airflow on my d1, was a pain to fit. Main issue is that because of the adapter that fits between the airbox and the snorkel you have to move your airbox about 2in closer to the engine.
