Out of interest, I just got my dealer to quote for the installation of a snorkel.
£400 inc parts, vat and labour! I nearly dropped the phone! I'm going to buy one direct from Mantec (£140) and fit it myself. Can anyone point me at AndrewS' instructions - I can't find them on the search. Thanks. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS + New Defender 110 First Edition |

and then realise, that you have measured in inches and not mms, and have to fill in the holes and start again. Cheers

Installed my Mantec snorkel today. I followed AndrewS' instructions - very straightforward. It took me about 2 hours (slightly longer than necessary because my cordless ran out of juice).
Very pleased
Are there any other holes I need to block up in the intake system to make it properly airtight? Also - what's the general opinion on the breathers - mantec don't suggest I need to extend them on the Puma but I'm surprised if they're any different to the Td5.

Nope - they're all slightly different. I ordered the Mantec but was sent a Safari by mistake. I had a quick look at it before i sent it back - also looks quite straightforward. Very pleased with mine - no wind noise, no induction noise and you can barely see it from inside the cab. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS + New Defender 110 First Edition |
