GBMUD Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 This one? Do they look robust and worthwhile? The other option is a Safari snorkel but I prefer the Mantec style top. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Some of the vehicles at work have them, to my eyes they are not very pretty, and they seem quite tall I've not seen a broken one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Chis, you have seen one, or close enough, same as fitted to the Sport, The one i have has been modified already, with some extra slot in the top, to cure wind noise, but suppose on a defender, do not matter so much Have a "new" TD5 Safari one sat here was going to be fitted to the 07, but would seam they are very slightly different Would agreed with Lewis, not the most attractive in the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I think it looks ok, and looking at pic 2, front on, it's tucked in better than the safari one. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Certainly the Mantec, is a more snug fitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 doesn't seem to add extra height of safari one too, although the wading depth will be lower by a few inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 The one on your RRS looks OK Tim, robust anyway. I think that I will go for the Mantec one - although it is more aesthetically challenged . Thanks guys Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveG Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Mantec site and advert states the new 'Plastic Jobby' one is also for 300TDi and TD5, website etc may be wrong though. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ101 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 ?? Been told, that the 07 & TD5 are different,, but only the fitting kit, etc, where is goes into the wing Think the pipe etc is the same Edt to add, Mantec have no stock left at present for 07 year, if you have a recent TD5, (ie last year or so) they recon it will fit !!!

GBMUD Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 The Mantec website says "The product is suitable for Defender 300tdi and TD5, and the all New 2007 Defender 2.4 Transit Engine" and there is only one part number for the snorkel.

zulublue Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I know I have had bad experience with the trough the wing type norkels, so for me, you cannot beat this from southdown. www.southdown4x4.co.uk/RaisedAirIntake.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBMUD Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Yup. It was in stock though so should be here this week. While I do not plan to do any really deep wading, I do not want an unexpectedly deep ford to go from "cock-up" to "disaster". Tim; Yes, I did. Although I was put on the spot rather with a pro-active 'phone call. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
