If someone was to produce them for all four engines and all years would there be any interest?

The Mad Hat Man · Oct 11, 2016

not for us Disco owners

gotta be better than the Spanish rubbish tho.

Mate people are crying out for a td4 one.

I'd have one 100%.

Can you get that deep without it floating?
I suppose the Td4 and KV6 are pretty weighty. No chance with a K or L series.

Had my old one floating. But believe me they sink too

For me water isn't the issue, and I agree that the K series FL1 would most likely be afloat by the time a snorkel was required. However, I'd love one for dust exclusion - would save my air filter. I have a CAF under the left guard and it does seem prone to sucking in more road/trail dust than the st'd set up.

It will. The 1.8 is the only FL1 that has the engine bay air pick up. All others pick up air from the right hand inner wing area and do suffer off road rubbish getting into the filter housing.

How is the prototype coming along DD?

Do you really need a snorkel ? most of the water intake is due to the doors falling off

Diesel Do · Oct 12, 2016

Should have final finished pictures of RH one today. LH one in a few days.

lol, like Tratters' bodywork is any barrier to a flooded interior? (and I use the term "interior" loosely in Tratter terms)

Diesel Do · Oct 12, 2016

I'd use the term body loosely too

Diesel Do · Oct 13, 2016

Both snorkels are finished. Left and right versions. Doing photos at the weekend. My blue L Series facelift now has one

MacGyver · Oct 14, 2016

Pictures don't tease us lok

Diesel Do · Oct 14, 2016

Will be posting pics over the weekend. Final fitting today. Aim to have them on my shop early next week.

Diesel Do · Oct 14, 2016

Couldn't wait. What do you reckon? All fully connected and working

rob_bell · Oct 14, 2016

Looking good! Is that circlip stainless steel?

As with most snorkels, having a template to make the hole in the wing is going to be important - how is the snorkel-wing interface managed?

Gaj1612 · Oct 14, 2016

that is one mean looking motor. like what youve done with it, snorkel looks tidy too!

Diesel Do · Oct 14, 2016

I have a template. It does both sides. There's about 4" of pipe inside the wing to connect the flexi too. The snorkel pipe is stainless. The clip will be. The top isn't. I have to buy them in.

Nodge68 · Oct 14, 2016

Looking good DD

I can see that working fine on the 1.8 K and L series.
It won't be so easy on a TD4 with the FBH fitted however.
