Terrafirma Raised Air Intake
Hello

I've had a LR raised air intake fitted for a while. When it came it had the less than ideal fixing methodology at the bottom which is subject to the current recall. It did actually try and disconnect itself from the car on the A10 last year and I've popped some rivnuts in it which has made it more sturdy.

I had to remove it a couple of months ago to get the windscreen replaced and not needed it for a while so it's currently off.

I'd like to refit one for a sandy outing in June but whilst I'm waiting to hear on the recall I was looking at the Terrafirma one. Has any one fitted one? Or even seen one in the plastic?

I'm wondering if it fixes to the car anymore securely and if it might be better?

Any one got any thoughts on the subject?

Thanks for the replies. For some reason I didn’t see them until just now.

I decided against the Terrafirma raised air intake in the end and went for a Bravo Snorkel.

It’s quite an involved install removing all the wheel arch cladding but once in place it’s really solid and seems to do the job nicely. It’s not the quietest on the motorway however! 😀
