P38 Snorkel News Flash!

Safari might not be developing a P38 snorkel, but just found another outfit in Oz, HardRange, who (according to their site), are aiming to launch one as their first product!

first and last product

Just read this through, quite interesting - did anyone ever make a snorkel for the P38 then?

LR quote a wading depth of 500mm for all their vehicles (540mm for the P38 in 'offroad' EAS setting, 400mm for Freelanders), which seems pretty low to me - only 20" (21.5") of water?

We took my mates Disco 1 V8 with no breathing mods and on standard suspension through a water run in Wales that was about 20-25 metres long and up to top-of-the-bonnet level with the bow wave with no problems. No water ingress, no water in the engine bay, etc. Obviously if you stop then the engine bay will get flooded, but that's the same in any vehcile. As long as you keep moving and keep a bow wave going, I can't see why a P38 would be any different?

I'd take my old Classic through water up to a metre deep and would take a P38 through the same I reckon. So pretty much any flood you're likely to find on a UK road!

I did

As per my previous post Hard Range in Oz Raised Air Intake "Tourer" | Hard Range Australia have one on offer. It wasn't commercially availble at the time of the original post, but it is now.

The only downside is they don't yet have the facilities for international delivery, so it's a case of picking one up next time your passing, SYDNEY! :doh:

Hopefully they should sort things out soon, and I guess the more international buyers contact them to express an interest the quicker they'll do it. :attentionand just so I don't get shot down in flames, I've no interest in this company, they're just the only people to make one, that I know of)

hi all
I'm new to this forum but you can find me over on LRO too
i liked at the link as i was very interested as last time it rained it filled the air intake with water on my P38 some of it going through the AFM and damaging it and into the engine (lucky this time)
i was disappointed to find out due to supplier problems it has been discontinued
any more suggestions or links before i manage to kill my engine
