Discovery 1 snorkles

<< < (7/21) > >>

simondarby:
Had no problems so far Gav.  We did think about the pressure for a while and ended up thinking that the pressure was probably not enough to worry about.  Besides, the tubing I used was translucent white so I can keep an eye on it anyway.

Ends up being a very neat and tidy arrangement too.  Used proper pneumatic push fit connectors into the rear of the air box.  Looks like it's supposed to be like that.

Evilgoat:
Had thought about dooing that with the breathers on the zook too. Intake for the little comressor for the dizzy and headlamp vets is taken from the botton of the snorkel, doesnt matter so much about pressure there as theres a compressor in the way.

Safari snorkels are certainly tougher than Zook bodywork, ours has had a fair bit of punishment, seen a few grilles in the top smashed on others though. The Zooks also seems to accumulate water at the elbow at time too, easilly solve with a little drain plug.

Depends on where you shop.
The Safari is very easy to fit compared to the other brands, mainly because you dont have to remove the wing to fit it.
Steve Ray is spot on...
Make sure you state your vehicle type, engine type and whether you have ABS or not.
The ABS difference is lenght of the snorkle along the wing.
ABS is a long wing snorkle, no ABS is shorter.

My disco has no ABS but the air box looks to be in the same place as a disco with ABS and i dont know which safari snorkel to get! :?

The Disco's with Abs enter nearer the front of the car and enter from the side of the air box.
The Cars without enter nearer the front door and enter the air box at the rear (where the abs would be if it was fitted)
Just advise the shop you are buying from of your car details (and chassis number if you like)
They will know which to send/sell you

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and personaly I think the safari ones spoil the look of the car.

I prefer the subtle look of the mantec one which retains more of the original looks and looks like a camel trophy.

Fitting is straight forward once you take the outer wing off, which is no big hardship.  the templates supplied look a bit basic but do the job.

I have fitted a 'mushroom' top from matt savage to get a G4 appearance.

I fitted A 200Tdi model to my 300 in order to move the intake further back allowing me to use the secondary battery position in front of the air box.  I also fitted a 200 Tdi air box but I intend to go back to a modified 300 box when I get round2it.
