Disty Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 What parts to i need to replace after removing a cheap safari snorkel copy? I don't like it and don't think i'll use it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrat Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 should just be the intake vent only. Shame cos I chucked one in the bin last week, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 There'll also be three 10mm-ish holes in the wing around the vent and some smaller ones up the windscreen pillar to sort out, if you so desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJB Serenity Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 just park it in central Romford for a few hours. when you come back from the shops it will be gone. no fuss, no hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobson Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I've just taken mine off, remove the five bolts around the air intake and any holding it onto the windscreen pillar, simple job really. as for the vent: if you don't have one to hand, either use some kind of small holed mesh (not pretty but will do the job) make one out of some flat ally sheet, making sure there are plenty of holes in it (as i've just done) buy one from a local shop or off the net, shouldn't be too much. if you want to fill the holes i've just used some Unibond liquid metal, stuck really well, dried in five minutes and was easy to sand and paint.

Litch Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Unlike a genuine Safari Snorkle which replaces the original intake & hose I suspect you are only missing the grill and have a few holes to fill? As already stated fill the holes & paint (you could use rivets if you don't mind the look) and buy a new grill, very cheap and not worth sourcing a S/H one.

Disty Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Haha thanks guys. Looks like Romford is the cheapest/easiest option.. i'm off! I thought i'd need a replacement gasket/seal too, but looks like the grille is enough. Anybody got one they took off to add a snorkel?

Litch Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Like I said in my earlier post, they are so cheap you might as well just buy new from your local dealer. Part No. BTR6188. New/genuine £2.87 inc VAT. By the time you have given someone a couple of £ for their old one and then paid the P&P it will have cost more than a new one.

Ron Price Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I want to remove mine, it’s playing havoc with my Engine Management Light coming on. Never had the problem with past 4 Landy’s How do I cover the holes in the pillar ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Fill them with a sealer, filler, put a rivet through or if they were drilled and tapped you could get a couple or grub screws ? Whatever you fancy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
