Where is it on the wing - and can I extend it to the end/top of the engine bay if it needs to be?

Goes into the rivers side wing, very front through some plastic. Draws air from the void in there. Its perfectly good enough for normaluse really, you can use remove the outer wing and extend it, then cut a hole through the wing and exit up the pillar. (i.e. home made 'snorkel'). If you're wading though, your first point of call is to extend the rear diff breather as its just extened up to behind the cubby box and finished in an inverted 'u'. Extend this up the bodywork somewhere., think Les did it to the rear lights. Also the front gearbox breathers finish behind the engine with the same 'U' shape. So if you were fitting a snorkel it would be well worth extending these too. Having said that I had a standard a standard K-series and used to wade with water over the bonnet and have no problems - either luck or skill - you decide ;-)

i thought it had been proved on numerous occasions that a hippo floats before it needs a raised air intake.

Mine is far from a normal hippo...

If you are looking for Dlander then you would probably be better making your own as air intakes in engine bay will be totally different
