Anyone on here done one ?? Its a safari snorkel for a 08 reg defender, biggest issue i have is how to attatch/tighten the 3 nuts from inside the wing :evil: piece of yellow snow for a regular motor, fitted many to other engine/age related cars, But this is full of ABS and all sorts of other gumf, I have not drilled the 3 holes yet ;) But i am at whits end on how to get to them, even thought of removing the wing to attatch first, but cannot do as the inner air trunking is secured from the outside :-k So any clues :-k :-k

I had the same problem on my 1990 90!
I could not easily get to the nuts on the inside.
I used nutsert in the end. Ideal for putting a thread into a blind hole.

hi there burgerman, ive got a 08 puma engine defender with a td5 snorkel. the bolts are a little bit of a pain the worst is the one nearest the bulkhead. i found it easier to cut the spanner in half so i could get to it from the top. you will need to remove the air box, arch spat, aerial, and the pipe work from the airbox to the wing.
