Garybb Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 So I’ve got a defender 300tdi 1996 and I’ve purchased a snorkel of eBay which as come with zero instructions so was wonder if these are straight forward fit or if anyone’s got some instructions or link to fitting similar one that would be great. I’ll upload the snorkel soon cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneandtwo Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 It’s a cheap copy of the genuine Puma snorkel. The genuine instructions are probably out there somewhere,my, but it’s not exactly hard to fit. Clip the metal plate over the intake hole. Drill the two holes at the top of the plate to suit m6 rivnut. Fit m6 rivnuts. Attach screen bracket to snorkel and Temporarily mount the snorkel on the two m6 bolts. Mark screen where bracket holes are, remove snorkel and drill two holes for the self tapping bolts. My genuine Land Rover one didn’t have extra fixings round the mounting plate that that one has from memory, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneandtwo Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 No it takes about ten minutes to fit. Thinking about it you fit the metal plate, mark the two top holes on the wing and then the metal plate screws to the snorkel, you then fit snorkel and mark the windscreen frame bracket position.

Arjan Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Make sure you test the snorkel after fitting for being waterproof... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one I did for myself (TD5) had instructions to disassemble the original pipework and airbox and seal with silicone. Otherwise, you have a nice watertight snorkel and water gets in further up the air path when you start wading. Also, consider extending your breathers if you haven't already and make sure you have wading plugs if applicable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
