What engine do you have? I have a 90 that was a 2.25 petrol converted to 200 tdi, my airbox is connected to a vent on nearside wing and the snorkel just bolted onto that - simples... are you sure there is no vent?

Just unscrew the plastic cover off your wing. On a 300tdi that is the one on the drivers side just in front of your door.

not a thing
Sounds like some one has replaced your wing skin with the wrong one. But where is your engine breathing from?

ummmm - sorry to ask but why did you buy a side mounted snorkel if you dont have a hole? Looks like you have a snorkel already that goes through the vent that normally drives cool air to the heater box??

i got the side mounted snorkel as thats all you can buy
the snorkel i have now was made from B&Q pipe and iv have never liked it,
at the moment i don't even have a land rover air box just a cone filter on the of the pipe
so iv bought a filter and air box ,snorkel, cool air feed to the heater as thats been cut.. im just trying to put it right

you dont have any pipework from your filter to your wing?
where does your engine draw in fresh air?
have a look around the inner wing, the snorkal you have fits to the side vent but i have seen loads of variations, e.g the ones at work exit the wing on the top side and iv seen custom ones routed completely different from the stock LR.
if not, find a local landy breakers yard -if you pull it off yourself they prob only charge you a tenner.
though you'll need to make sure the wing to airbox bit on the inside/inner wing is sealed too, on my mantec one this bulkhead interface was poor but i have seen one (think it was safari?) that had a seperate plastic formed plate for inside the wing.
if your fitting this, dont forget to extend your breathers too or all this work will be for nothing when your diff seals implode at the first swolen ford you hit!
if you see pics above you will see how my engine draws in fresh air

yeah i was just looking at that and wondering why i spent £££ on a cosmetic mantec 1 -this looks much sturdier!
a little crude maybe but in terms of durability, id feel more confidant wading your set up than mine as it ooks sealed at every join right up to the inlet ;p
id be tempted to keep that m8 + just swap it to the divers side so you dont have the heater box obstructing its routing.
what airbox have you got to go in and didnt that model's vent exit on the opposite (drivers) wing?
