I am taking my 110 for it's first service tomorrow and was wondering about the air filter! I fitted a Safari Snorkel but I'm pretty sure I left the air filter in place
 Should I have done that? How can it be replaced if the snorkel is permanently covering the wing hole. I've thrown the instructions away so don't know if it should still be in place or not!
It's this one http://www.safarisnorkel.com/snorkel/ss581hf/ss581hf.htm |

I did think twice
 But then saw it was Zag, so must be genuine California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

I'm talking about the wing air filter, do pay attention at the back! How do you replace it from inside or should I have taken the filter out before fitting the Snorkel? Anyone know or got fitting instructions! Ta. |

Zag - did you remember to remove all the packaging from inside the RAI - bubble wrap etc before you fitted it

I have a nasty feeling I should have removed the filter before fitting the snorkel
Can't find any instructions on the web, old Def2 links not working! |

Anyone got fitting instructions or knows would be very helpful, have Googled 8 pages and no instructions
Coming to the conclusion I should have taken it out,  !  |

Yes there is a filter the same shape as the side wing hole, I don't think it should be there with the Snorkel on as I can't see any easy way of replacing it from inside the wing. Unless someone who knows otherwise I think I could be having fun and games getting it back out again i.e. base of Snorkel will need unscrewing or more likely the whole snorkel will need to come off altogether to get it out
If I can't get at it from inside which I don't think I can  |

No filter behind the wing plate on mine (2009 110).
Just frozon my doo dahs off going out to the garage to double check in my box of 'bits removed' and just the plastic plate. Of course land Rover may have forgotten to fit it
All the dealer does at service time is replace the filter in the air box - if they can be bothered
