If you find a decent looking cheap option let me know, cause i want one too!

you can pick up a defender one off ebay for about £60.
That's what I did,
I just arched the flat plate that fits to the side of the defender and it fitted my scuttle side panel perfectly.

PM me for phots as I've never had much luck putting them on here.
Cheers................

Post by: ukmudmaster on March 19, 2009, 21:17:21: Fitted a B&Q snorkel yesterday, dead pleased with it, but may yet alter it! £10 for plastic pipe and brackets/bends and £7.50 for a metre of flexi pipe. Will test it at Bures this weekend. took around 2 hours of messing about in the sunshine, and I reckon it looks pretty good.

Post by: 300TDi Disco on April 08, 2009, 23:41:06: One thing many people say top me about the snokels is that the V8 engine doesn't want forced air intake and to turn the head round if you have a safari head.

Post by: Range Rover Blues on April 09, 2009, 02:30:52: All that stuff about ram air is bunk, the effect of having the air intake forewards counteracts about a tenth the restriction that 2 metres of pipe creates.
