    Snorkel

    Hi there!

    I'm planning to install a snorkel on my D2. I have some price indications of a Safari (390) and a Sherpa (270).

    Yesterday a advertise on gumtree showed up with a Snorkel, much cheaper then al the other. Does anybody has experience with this brand/model?

    New Air Intake Snorkel Kit Fit LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 2 LANDROVER | Other Parts & Accessories | Gumtree Australia Maroondah Area - Ringwood East | 1102737536

    Good deal?


    Thanks!

    I have that one on my car and it is just as good as any other.
    Mind you if you are not going wading in rivers (as I am not) I am sorry now that I fitted one at all.They IMHO spoil the lines of a good looking car.
    It was one of those ideas one has to fit all sorts of crap that Land Rover found unnecessary on the car when built when you get a new toy it is hard to resist fitting such "stuff"

    Other than having "Discovery" on mine , it looks exactly the same, down to the cast pieces.
    Someone opined that they were copies of early ARB.
    I have had mine on 3 years now and as far as I am concerned it is fine.
    The only problem with mine is that the slots to tighten the clamp on the head to the body have a secondary purpose as drains for the water rammed into the back of the head, and they were not continued upwards.
    A little work with a hacksaw and OK.

    G'day, the problem I found with the cheap ones is fittment, template and actual line up were way out, many extra holes were drilled and elongated. On this one I'm gonna try the Sherpa.

    I bought that one. Template completely useless and so in the garage it sits. Plus I'm not 100% convinced they are worth fitting anyway.
