G'Day all, new to LR4x4,
but have been playing in the mud for nearly 35 years (damn makes me feel old or should I say wiser)
I've had many variations on this theme and they all come unstuck when you ford deep water and forget that the breather on the compressor has also been immersed. A remote filter near the firewall or better still an outlet on the engine air filter is the way to go.
I had a bad experience with a york compressor and a rangie drowned in a "soupie" mud bath. Whilst running diff' locks the Rangie became a permanent bog fixture, the compressor sucked the brew in and then failed, after much groaning.
You may want to consider a clean air source away from the front of the engine,
Cheers.........Rodd
