Which one should I buy?

Paddocks at £69.75

Safari at £138.07

or Mantec at £145?

HybridGirl · Mar 16, 2008

I've got the first one. Its done me proud so far, an I think they look better than the safari's. Speshly on Deependers.

Safari ones have that stoopid head on em which gets snagged in trees....they either twists em round or snaps em off.....go wiv a round one

Griffdowg · Mar 16, 2008

im sure you can source safari's cheaper than that. also take a look at mantec's plastic jobbie. think its 115. worth waiting for the shows?

wot snorkle yu got, Si?

Sirus · Mar 16, 2008

no comment....aint got one

Griffdowg · Mar 16, 2008

the safari sits closer to the vehicle and the mounts are wayyy stronger. you can twist the head around 180 degrees to prevent tree damage sirus. prob with mushroom top ones, like paddocks, is that it sticks out from the wing and where it goes into a rubber tube section, this can get damages by branches, thorn bushes. mate of mine had to gaffer his up because there are tons of pin pricks throughout that rubber connecting hose. id personally go with a tough plastic safari or mantec model.

So the ideal one would be a safari one with a round top

HybridGirl · Mar 16, 2008

The good thing wi the paddocks one tho, is yu can **** the top off it on a height barrier, watch it bounce off down the road, get run over, then still go pick it up, stick the fooker back on and its fine. I've done that 3 times now.

Installed a Safari which was straight forward (ish).

The discovered my roof was installed by gibbons and the gutters are so low I can't open the nearside doors with a roof rack on (no sign of gutter abuse, just built badly).

So, could mount a roof rack on an external cage but this would mean moving the snorkel, *rse!

Before you decide on a snorkel do you want to ft a cage?

safari snorkles look great but i would buy a ss steel grill as the placi one dont last long when it gets even a twig at it lol

666 george · Mar 16, 2008

Got mine from mantec, the same as the safari but cheaper £106

s0785488 · Mar 16, 2008

I got safari, very good and looks the best!

landroversforever · Mar 16, 2008

Theres the stainless jobby from southdown, i quite like that one. the shiny-ness is a bit bling though

ratty · Mar 17, 2008

I got a bearmach snorkel the same as the paddock style one. The only problem I have found is that the rubber grip rings on the clamps vibrated loose in the first month and had to be repositioned and re-tightened. Noprobs since though.

Oddie · Mar 17, 2008

So you ordered one yet Trewy, would be most interested to see what yer goes fer and how you rate it.?
