I designed my own intake a couple of years ago. The design was to improve airflow but could be adapted for an air intake.

If anyone is interested in it, I have an unused and unfitted complete Nugget duct kit that I was intending to fit to my Defender. I have subsequently decided to fit instead a Nakatanenga RAI of the type that exits through the wing-top opening rather than the side, which also replaces all the pipework to the air filter box.
Consequently the Nugget kit is surplus to requirements. It is my intention when I get time to list it and a number of other items in the for sale section, but if anyone is looking for one in the meantime let me know. *** EDIT - I no longer have this, it has gone to a new and more productive life with another forum member *** Last edited by blackwolf on 11th Jul 2016 12:05pm.

I just bought this kit from First Four in August. Disappointingly the hose quality doesn't look anything like the nice black hose in the pictures posted above. The one in the pictures looks good and like it belongs in the engine bay of a Land Rover.
The one in the kit I received from FirstFour is a tan/brown color and has exposed string winding around the outside. It looks like something you would attach to the rear of a commercial clothes drier. I mentioned this in my feedback to FirstFour and haven't heard anything back. I am not too enuthused about fitting something into the engine bay that looks like it doesn't belong there. I will follow up with First Four again. I am guessing that the spec has been changed by the supplier and there is probably little they can do. I am sure the hose will work and seal up fine, it will just look naff. Does anyone know if better looking suitable black hose is available as per the pics shown by the poster above? Any farther South and I'll need to trade the Defender in for a Landing Craft  |

As I said in my earlier post in this thread, Nugget Stuff is very well known in Aussie. The owner, "Wayne" is an absolute gentleman,...this is the first issue I've ever heard relative to a product of his. So, if you have an issue, I'd suggest you contact Wayne via his website & show him the stuff you got, to confirm that ALL of the contents are actually his. I would be very interested in his reply.

I suspect that First Four only bought the kit without the hose (Yes, it is a purchase option) and just supplied what they thought would be a good hose to use. I bought the kit with the hose even if it was a bit more expensive. Nugget now has an even better hose that he sells on his site so you may want to look at that kit as it is definitely worth it. Will upgrade mine when it calls for it as it works a treat so far and I'll just let the kit be until I need to replace the hose, whenever that may be.

The tan coloured hose looks exactly the same as the one pictured on the Nugget Stuff website. Other than the colour, is the quality good? Would prefer black hose but as long the the quality is ok I could live with it. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

You are not alone.
Got the Nugget Stuff Kit as the Nakatananenga was Out of Stock with no definitive availability. An absolute  to fit, but the hose definitely lets it down. I was a bit bemused as I thought Nugget Stuff had a pretty good reputation, but then thought that maybe they had succumbed to the accountants and started to penny pinch. However, now that I know it was an optional purchase it tells me more about First Four than anything else. Will definitely pay closer attention to buying anything else off them.
Back to the Nugget Stuff, apart from the hose(which is not their fault apparently) I can't fault it. The only thing I would say is don't rush into fitting it straight away especially with the sealant. Take the time and go for a "dry" fit first then when you know where everything fits and how they fit go for the finished fit. That sealant is an absolute to get off!!!
As said, I would have preferred to go for the Full Nad kit as Blackwolf has, but I couldn't hang on and so used the Nug. kit coupled with a Safari Equip Snorkel(as it is now sealed plus had it pressure checked for leakage) and LR airbag with internals removed. Very pleased with it all.  although that damn hose messes with my OCD!! |

I bought and fitted the kit to my 2.2 18 months ago and it came with the original black hose. It was a rubber 'bellows' type with a wire spiral embedded within. At first all seemed okay however on a 2.2 the wall thickness is an issue and the bolt holding the lower intercooler hose bracket quickly wore through the hose.
I obtained a thin walled silicon hose instead and the clearance is now fine and no sign of wear. I informed Wayne at Nugget and he hadn't come across this issue on the 2.2 before but he also hadn't seen the revised bracket LR now fit either. However he did say he would look into it and advise distributers since they add the hose locally. The thin-walled silicon hose is a lot tougher than it looks...
