You should look out for some late Series1 Disco Alloys, hard to tell the difference unless you look closely, OK for a spare etcQuote:

I was very disappointed in the workmanship of the Safari Snorkel installation. The end at the air cleaner was sealed with a silicone type material as was the guard end. The joint in the middle was a loose fit and fell apart. This would have leaked for sure, As the pic below shows, the plastic from the inner section has partially collapsed in the center and would certainly breathe. I am sure the accident had no affect on this.

I think such an installation is a criminal act !!! I have don't know who did this one. People put their trust in companies to do the right thing, and such an installation could easily result in a damaged engine, possibly in the middle of nowhere.
This may be a warning to other PUMA owners or anyone having a snorkel installed .

Another point to note Erich, the front springs aren't handed like the previous Defenders. They are both the same as the passenger side front spring on a Tdi.
Looks like you have some work ahead of you Erich..Will follow this with interest...
Best of luck.
Cheers Ean
Hi Lou, I agree they are different, but unless they are side by side most people wouldn't know. I have a set of Boost Alloys with city tyres and 1999 Series1 Disco Alloys with the muddies as per pic below. This is a comparison between the Boosts on the PUMA and the Series1 Disco wheels on the Defender, at a bit of a distance.Quote:

All I am saying is that these are far more readily available, much cheaper and most people wouldn't know anyhow.

off topic but Lou, D1 with the LS (formally known as the ES) pack which is from 98 on had the boost alloys. Before that they had the freestyle ones.
Oy dad, post up a pic of the only non svx leather defender seats in aus.
