Thread: Tdv8 snorkel.

Hi Phil
I have seen Discovery 3 snorkel kits fitted in the UK, I don't know if they were V8 or TdV8 models, but it may pay to have a read

I have had experience with flooding and I think the connections are a big part of the problem….. question is……. Has anyone done this mod and if so which snorkel did you use? Taking into account that the inlet seems to be on the LHS.
Thanks in advance for your information.
cheers,
Phil.

In the recent past there has been a snorkel installation done and detailed on AULRO.
I just cannot find the posting at present, but it was good looking job with pics and detailed installation info.
I think he had to make much of the item himself and sourced some fittings, but it was successful installation and looked OK.
Perhaps search AULRO

Gday Phil
I can recall someone doing a fairly nice job with a custom made snorkel on a L322 3.6 or possibly td6. They ran the intake pipe through the inside of the outer guard to the b-pillar just above the shark fins. It might have been on FFRR site like Laurie says. It looked ok.

Good luck with the project.

I fitted a snorkel - because I could.

Prior to that I did thousands of kilometres of outback travel - where the guard intake is hardly gets any dust, and water that high = trouble.

Not a necessity in most use.

Thanks for your help. I intend to do some serious investigations before I attempt this. First I will seal all the gaps etc in the current system to make sure it is dust and water tight.
Cheers.
