The air box looks to be rotated out of position.

The arrows are lined up on the top of the airbox (this is a conversion job - done by previous owner I think), moving it shouldn't be too difficult as its held in by some half arsed cable tie job. Think the previous owner was called Arthur judging by the state of some of the changes that have been made.

I meant the whole box is rotated, mate. Not just the end. Does your engine air intake come from the passenger wing?

Not sure in all honesty, I'm still finding my way around the vehicle, needless to say I shall have a proper look at it so thanks for pointing it out

What orientation should the air box be at?
Looking at some photos of other conversions some have the air box piping route across the front of the engine bay, so the air box is rotated 180degs about the vertical compared to mine, and some have the air box as having the "snout" facing down and left at the 7/8 o'clock rather than the 2 o'clock position of mine

I think you will find original 300 car has the air intake on the drivers side wing, and the air box trunking goes under the master cylinder, 200 and earlier have it on the passenger side.

As lynall says, with the birds mouth valve pointing down and the intake pipe coming from drivers wing. Yours has been rotated so the intake more easily comes from passenger side.

OK, so more importantly, is this going to have detrimental effect how it is now?

No, wouldn't think so. So long as it's not kinked or rubbing on anything. The only other issue could be the one way valve in the branch of the intake pipe. It should be pointing down.

The valve is only really to catch and drain dust so not the end of the world, in motors with snorkels its common to seal the vale up solid to stop water ingress.
If you want it as standard just buy the 300 drivers side wing vent that way you can use all oe spec bits.
I think TD5 is same set up as 300 so here is what I think you need, obviously check first!, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rove...g-duct-pipe-/221898285298?hash=item33aa2b20f2

You can rotate the end with the birds mouth drain to the down position with out moving the rest of the unit.
