RAISED AIR INTAKES
Just finished fitting a Raised air intake or snorkel to my Puma 110 USW. Took a piece of advice commonly used in may walks of life

If you are going to get something - get the ****** biggest one you can find!!!

You're going to have to excuse my ignorance here (might look a bit silly asking this, too)......but why is it exiting the top of the wing vent there? Or have I missed something?


You're right though.......it is a big one!!

I have diverted the air pipe that originally pulled air from the wing side and now it pulls air from the wing top and then through the air filter.

I had the snorkel from a previous vehicle and had to get it to fit the PUMA air intake.

In time, I will blank off the wing side vent

So you've put a deep-water wading intake on a wagon full of electronics?
Largely pointless except when it comes to scoring extra "All the gear" points.

Are you sure it's not a flue? Maybe the next part of the project is to convert the car to run on logs...

Now I may have missed the point here, but I am defiantly not trying to bad mouth your design.

I do however think there is a flaw in you design. When wading that deep the engine will be able to breathe and as Long as the engine is running you shouldn't have a problem with water in the exhaust, but how will the driver breathe?? Embarassed Russell

Simple. Rely on the well built - quality watertightedness that has become synonymous with the name 'Land Rover Defender' Whistle

So are we agreed it looks just a little bit daft?
Can't wait to see the next set of photos, with intake removed. Laughing
