Hi Laralandy,
Welcome to the forum, another Dorset member. 
Each to their own, I personally think the snorkel depicted resembles the top cowl on my woodburning stove. Most snorkels I believe will involve some form of bodywork drilling. With care and attention to detail these holes can be kept to a minimum diameter often several millimetres smaller than the instructions state and if prepared/assembled correctly will give you no further issues. Dependant on location/time etc. etc. if you wish advice/help in fitment either myself or another Dorset forum member may be able to offer assistance. Think this is the one you mean.....only 'advertised' as up to TD5 compatable...going rate seems to be about £160-£170... 
If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Click image to enlarge This is the Mantec one fitted to my TD5. No drilling of the wing as it uses the existing vent mounting holes. Three holes needed in the pillar

Will it fit a Puma? They are only 'advertised' as up to 2006 TD5 compatable.

I have seen one fitted on a Puma locally
Checked it against the 110 before I fitted it on the TD5 and could see no reason why it would not fit.

That's the type I have (edit - I am referring to the picture in K9F's post above, th metal type) , which I actually prefer to the plastic jobbies (which remind me of the soil pipe on the outside of a house, so each to his own)! It is also (as far as I know, and please anyone correct me if I am wrong) the only type that'll fit with a roll cage.
It does however require 4 holes to be drilled in the RH of the windscreen frame for the brackets. No drilling in the wing is needed. I am another of the sizeable Dorset contingent (Poole/Blandford area) and I am sure we could arrange for you to see my RAI if you wanted. Last edited by blackwolf on 4th Nov 2012 2:15pm.

Thanks for your kind and generous offer but I've a 'pole' of my own to caress and admire, also being made of plastic won't be so cold to the touch as yours.....   If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Hmmm now i am confused lol. Thats the one im thinking of bob neville, thanks to all for the replys, top lads. I have just seen one on the dreaded ebay from mps trading that claim puma fitment. But the price seems some what high considering the mantec hat plastic jobby is cheaper on paddocks and to be honest i prefer the look. I was told safari snorkels require the most drilling. I Guess ill have to man up and charge me cordless drill!! measure twice and all that lol.

You've probably seen them already but these links may aid your decision.....
http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic7134.html?highlight=frank http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic2105.html?highlight=frank http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic4073.html?highlight=frank Mantec also do a plastic jobby now too.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-DEFEN...2574d5f5ef There are lots cheaper advertised as Mantec or Safari 'STYLE'.....I personally would stick to the real deal as you will then get better quality....

Thanks Ada... The one I have is a Mantec mushroom one, which fitted to the SVX rollcage... There was no drilling involved to remove it  Or to fit it by the looks of things.
Make me an offer... beer, cash, naked pictures of your wife... To be fair, it's never going back on the SVX, and it's in ok nick, so it's gonna be cheap lol '09 SVX #200 '10 Morphy Richards.. I mean Prius |
