I had some Censored do that to me, and with mine having the crap tyres on, it really did unsettle the car. I nearly put the car into a sign post in the centre reservation. Lucky for me I don't drive a like a bell end so all was well. I am staying well clear of defenders with after market wheels on this time! Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Thanks all for your thought regarding snorkels and fitting. Surprised of the price of a genuine Landrover one compared to the others. Some more consideration required. Many thanks again for your thoughts.

This guy below wishes he had installed a snorkel.

Houston, we have a problem. Laughing

I`ve been tempted myself a few times to install the Entreq snorkel with its waterproofing kit, but never got to it sofar. Right now it remains cheap temptation, because they are sold out/waiting a new production batch. We will see when back in stock if I will ask Olaf to install one... Also would have to make sure that our Swiss MOT would not object to it. Rolling Eyes

Hi guys,

after Santa finally brought me my long awaited snorkel I was now able to fit it and take it on a test drive.

First of all I have to say, that the quality of the Entreq stuff is really extraordinary. Fitting was a piece of cake and everything came into place quite nicely, especially after paying attention to some special tips and tricks Mr. B�cking from Entreq Engineering told me earlier by mail. The quick and easy support directly from the manufacturer was surely a plus for the Entreq snorkel.

As the fitted snorkel looked already great on my Landy I couldn't wait to hear the new hissing sound Wild Card 90 told me about. And after driving up the nearby mountains I can definitely confirm the new sound coming from the big black tube. No empty promises in this regard. Thanks WC90! Thumbs Up
Now I'm already longing to know how much better it has to sound on warm summer days when the Defender has already been gleefully sucking in all the air it was able to get hold of. Very Happy

At the end a picture of my Landy with the fitted snorkel on top of our unfortunately snow free mountains (apart from the ski resort in the top left corner, of course). Have some nice holidays and a happy new year! Smile

Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

You can do a lot without a snorkel:

But I don't have the standard td5 wings and had a wet airfilter after this. Roel

I have a Mantec Raised air intake, looks good, and does what it says on the tin.

What he said a V8 snorkel works well on a TD5.

Looked in to this at some length. Don't particularly like them but it was required for a long trip a few years back

RAI versus snorkel. If you have to keep air intake out of harms way for wading then a snorkel is the way to go and the V8 version does this well. Fitting to a TD5 is straight forward. 2007 TD5 90 Hard Top

The other option is from P&P cages http://www.ppcages.com/accessories/land-rover/snorkels/

I have this one on my TD5 110 and it is a great piece of kit, solid and one of the few that will fit with a roll cage. Interestingly I see that Safety Devices are developing a new RAI for use with their cages... I hope it is a BIG bore unit...

A few photos with this RAI;

I have a Mantec RAI installed on my 206 300Tdi. I want to make it waterproof but I'm stuck on the valve in the piping.

I see the advantages of this on our dusty roads and would like to keep it in the piping, but how to seal it when crossing deep water.

This I don't do that often but sometimes I must.

So do make a temporary seal, like grease, or just remove it?
And lastly, are there any other places that I must give attention.

Sorry, I used the search function but never looked at the section it will end up.

I will try and get it to an appropriate section.

Hi,

As I an idea and what I have done is to simply zip tie a rubber glove over the end of the dump valve.

Simple, easy, effective and easy to remove when not needed.. Thumbs Up

Thanks. I considered using a bit of grease but that will be difficult to fully clean afterwards.

Your glove idea is good. I did try to find a rubber blankoff to fit over it but no success.

I have just removed all pipes and connected it directly, without any valve. I have experience with making cars live again, after going through not so deep water. Just add spare air filter in car, because it will be destroyed with water.
Not so deep - up to top of wheels - with snorkel no problem
Deep - up to bottom of front screen - with snorkel no problem, but a bit wet in car (Defender). with Discovery 2 drowned engine ECU
Too deep - water splash over roof - snorkel is not enough, water inside roof tent "Drobek" = The Small One - Discovery 2, "Blufínek" = The Blue Thing - Defender 130, and for me at least Ford Mondeo Smile
