Thread: 4lt V8 Disco MY03-Snorkel

Clean air from higher up, as opposed to the incredibly dusty air from the inner left guard.

Wading - already stated.....

Looks tough

No power gains to be had though.....

Good sensible modification

whats the real advantage then? Will it just save me replacing the air filter as often? I like the fact it looks tough though. Do you get any wind noise from it on the passenger side?

Hi ******
Do you intend doing much beach/sand work???? If so a snorkel is very important.
They suck huge amounts of sand in,I had a new air filter when I went for our easter trip,it was totally clogged with sand when I checked it a week after we got home.
Im going for suspension, snorkel then Drifesafes headlight upgrade.

Hey mate,
If you are doing any sort of outback work then a snorkel will keep you air filter cleaner longer. And if doing any rivers over wheel height it might just save your motor.

I have one on my MY04 V8 Disco. You can get the snorkel cheapest from a Landrover Dealer. It must be about the only thing that is cheaper from a dealer than anywhere else. You should be able to buy the snorkel for about $360. It is easy to fit yourself or get fitted for about $100.

thanks guys. Yeh I do both sand and dirt driving and I have seen how filthy the cleaner gets after driving in a convoy. You have nearly convinced me! Is the dealer snorkel a Safari snorkel? Any feedback on the wind-noise?
I'd get nervous cutting panels, it may be best rto hand over the $100.........

Dealer snorkel is Safari but 'dual badged' eg, says LR and Safari on it

Wind noise... Nope, not noticeable.....

Cheers

Yep, as Mike said.

There is a bit more noticable wind noise...but it's a 4WD shaped like a brick so it's always noisy.
