The Td5 Safari's have the moulded pipe at the wing entry, not sealed against the wing as Dan in describing, one less headache for you :roll:
If you don't have an airbox then you wont have a airfilter!  The MAF will get crudded up quickly & cause no end of probs...
Make sure you either move or seal the ECU before you go wading too  :wink:

Ahh, yes. Was looking at that yesterday, it's gonna be a bit of a beggar to seal (and I'm not paying 300-odd beer tokens for an extension loom !).

I did think along the lines of sealing the whole seatbox - from the underside with seam sealer and lashings of underseal, then more seam sealer on the inside, and then somehow making a watertight lid for the whole thing, to replace/or in addition to, the existing lump of black steel sheet that LR fit !

L90OOK:
I have seen someone put the ECU in a tough plastic box under the seatbox.  Cables were feed in through a gland, then the box sealed tight.
It doesn't hurt to seal the seatbox too...make sure you use a good quality sealant like sikkaflex (boatbuilders use it), not cheap B&Q silicone :roll:

No airbox - does that mean no airfilter too  :shock:

Guess you'd need to vent the sealed box maybe ? - think I read that somewhere too  :roll:
