Oh yes! it would look very nice on a Black DII

I got my Mantec from John Craddock, paid £229 delivered. Took about 5 days from payment of the delivery cost.

I can only hear it with the passenger window down and engine (Td5) working hard on boost.

I like the way it blends in with the black windscreen pillar, my Disco is silver so I didn't want all the black plastic of the Safari on the front wing/guard.

I also have Mantec installed on mine. I dont have any noise issue except the sounds of snorkle sucking air through it and I can only hear if the passenger window is open or if the sunroof is open.

I got mine when my brother was in uk. I cannot remember how much I pay for it but I know it was cheaper than safari one.

I am happy with it but wife prefer safari snorkle looks.

Hi there,

Got a quote from Pete Davis from Mobile Landrover Services, Sydney:
$450 incl GST for the Mantec snorkel and $176 incl Gst for fitting.
Pete was recommended by Rovercraft.

Anyone got experience with Pete?

Cheers,

Pete is good, just don't rush him.

Update:

I chased Pete (several emails and calls) since my last post in March to agree a date to get the snorkel fitted... without any success

I will now get the Mantec Snorkle from Ebay for $600 + $60 shipping and fit it myself.

Hi,

I have the Mantec.

Noise: Has already been covered very well by all here.
Function: As above.
Looks: As above with, I love the way it looks - but that's just me.

We fitted it as per the instructions from: www.discovery2.co.uk /Raised Air Intake (snorkel) - and it worked a charm.

Final product (my web page): Protection: Snorkel 2011-07-31

Ok mine is on the way from the UK. Anyone put the top facing forward I recon it robs power facing backwards as there is a vacuum that the flow is fighting against to suck the air in.
What you think?
