I was talking about the Mantec snorkle in the UK not here Lou.

I remember that Mantec in the UK make one for the new defender, from memory, can't remember which forum i was reading but it was a similar pricing to the one they make for the older defender.

oh ok i knew you were talking about the mantec snorkle in the uk baz i thought you were comparing the price of that to the price of one here!!!!

the one they make for the new 07 defender they make for td5's and 300tdi's as well i'm asuming its same mould different piping........

i have tried to contact them as we are looking at buying for our defender, but still no reply i tried again this morning if they dont reply inthe next couple of days then i'm going to call them......so far the price of a mantec is sigificantly cheaper than the price from a dealer here in oz......all depends on postage but even then i reckon it will still be cheaper, but i wont know that until they get in contact with me

This is depressing . . . I just make everything for my IIA. Bullbar, a couple of hundred bucks; wheel carrier, about $20, since it's made out of bits of steel I had lying around; sidesteps, about $40, fuel tanks, about $200-$300 each 11 years ago; snorkel, $80 or so, (I had to buy @#%$ new 3" exhaust pipe!); checkerplate, the army supplied it free via the tip when they were out here . . .

No, your new car sounds great and I was hoping to get one for a family-carrier, but I'll just have to wait for a couple of years!

Yeah, but are we sure LR haven't changed anything in the rear door frame? They did between early & late 02MY and it still wasn't that strong so I wonder if they beefed it up some more?

Part of me hopes so, but part of me wan'ts a swing-away wheel carrier without having to wait for a specific 07MY design.

So I get a quote from OL: $675 + $224 fitting.

Are they supporting DRUG HABITS??!!!????

mate, LR only changed them in 2002 - design change should be good for another 20+ years knowing LR!!!
