Nick666 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Hi - Does anyone know if there's a single-piece air hose that replaces the myriad of joins and whatnot that goes in between the side air intake on a TD5 Defender and the stock airbox? I'm trying to simplify everything on the way into the turbo and I've found everything but that bit so far! IF nobody's come up with one, do any of you guys know of anyone that makes a good aftermarket replacement in parts - everyone seems to do a replacement for the bit between the turbo / intercooler etc but nothing before that (except the Allisport one from airbox to turbo which is about £290). Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I just bought a length of the appropriate hose on eBay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick666 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 I just bought a length of the appropriate hose on eBay? Doesn't it step down from one end to the other? If you've got a link, that'd be a great help - could save a lot of hassle if I can sort it that easily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Ahh - I didn't think, mine was from the inside of a snorkel to the airbox. So I wasn't keeping the fitting on the inside of the wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick666 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm happy with that if I can get something that works - it's already got a Mantec 'plastic jobby' fitted so not a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Not sure if the pictures works : This is one of the safari snorkels that had the integrated pipe that passed through the wing. I forget the diameters now - but the airbox had a slight taper on its inlet, which meant the pipe fitted both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick666 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 That looks perfect, genuine Safari I'm guessing? Don't remember that on the one I had on the last truck, but it has been a decade! Means swapping for the Mantec, but I don't mind in the end... Thanks for the pic, v handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
