Not clear in the photo???[/img] That is the millitary cover...... not many have them now as most have snorkels It is designed so that splashed water/ mud can't enter the intake. Another thing on the heater inlet cover... they are used in hot climates to stop sand ingress when you have sand storms. Glyn P.S. I WANT ONE!!

MK Member Since: 28 Aug 2008 Location: Santiago Posts: 2445	Im looking for the opposite for the summer: lots of air for air flow. Blue print still in my head . I guess fiberglass will be the first prototype.  Puma 110" SW ............................................................. Earth first. Other planets later

Thanks, but not sure if they do the job. Need to be higher. Mi idea i like the winter type shwn on these pages but longer up to the front end wing and facing forward . We just add a couple of days with 33ºC..... A snorkel top would probably do the job but it´ll look ugly.

Also is in the US so will probably be easier for shipping for you- a lot cheaper than the KBX ones too http://americandirtroads.com/catairintakes.html I even like their snow one. Glyn

Snow Cover (fresh air). I have the one from Blanchard. Works perfectly in Winter and looks cool in summer. If you get a lot of snow (like we do occasionally in Switzerland) a decent snow cover is required in particular if you a Webasto Car-Pre-Heater or similar installed. You don't want to go out in your undies to clean the air intake, do you... What's the purpose of this chunky military engine air intake on the side? does it do any better job than the stock one?

Do the winterised versions not have extra heater/rad in the rear crew compartment? So you wouldn't notice a loss in performance. They must work or the MOD wouldn't buy them or perhaps the salesman was good  110 D250 SE HT 110 USW SOLD RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD
