Cheers for the pic, on mine the intake for the airbox face the front of the car so need to do 180 degree bend then a 90 bend thro the wing then a 90 the other way on the outside wing then up!! Anyone near Brighton that can lend a hand PLEASE.

Range Rover Blues:
The 200TDi airbox or V8 airbox can be modified thus

The later 300 series airbox (plastic) takes a little more ingenuity, that's why the Safari Snorkel is £200

clover:
The only issue is that generally speaking ordinary drain pipe is not a big enough internal diameter to allow the correct air flow your 3.5 V8 needs over the distance of the snorkel.

IIRC you need at lease 3" ID pipe and drainpipe is 21/2" ID.

When I did one for my Range I went to a specialist building suppliers and bought some Hospital sanitary pipe which was about the right size.

I think your best bet is to bite the bullet and buy a second hand 200 TDI air box and get a search going on ebay for a second hand Safari snorkel.

badboy:
Right cheers for that this seems to be more and more complicated as easy as it may seem to sum!!
The airbox on the pic shows a side exit mine is on the front has it been modified??
Cheers

When I did mine I had a length of straight pipe straight off the AFM (Ask me why!) and then a flexi pipe that doubled back on itself and put a cone filter on the end of the snorkel which I put a bracket on the top of and pop riveted it to my roof rack to stop the local thieving toe rags from nicking it! I also had a protective cover for it to protect it from the trees.

This is why I say getting a 200TDI air box and a safari snorkel is the way forward.
