That's good to know, black wolf
In answer to your question, who knows? Makes you wonder what kind of a truck JLR could have produced if they had put a bit more effort in to it |

Raised Air Intake. Commonly known as a snorkel although those two terms can mean subtly different things. Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!" - Princess Leia |

A Snorkel i guess ??
On that note where does the std intake draw from?? What sort of depth of water is 'safe' ?? |

Have a look via the search button either for RAI or Snorkel and that should be your Saturday night taken care of

The intake (on a standard TDCi) is through the plastic grill in the side of the offside wing, just ahead and below the mirror. However the standard plastic pipework from there to the air filter housing is in several badly-fitting pieces and leaks like a sieve, and the induction side of the air filter housing itself in not sealed either. If you know what you are doing you can drive through water up to about the top of the headlights but it would be very risky, you are wholly dependent upon a good bow wave to lower the level past this intake. To be safe I would suggest not going deeper that the centre of the wheels if you are inexperienced. With a fully-sealed system such as mine you could in theory keep the engine running with water most of the way up the windscreen but it is likely that you will have many electrical problems. A member of this forum inadvertently did this to his Puma (he actually drowned it and it was immersed for several hours) and has had a catalogue of electrical and fuel system problems ever since. |

Thanks for the info - will be potentially looking at improving the pipework in that case albeit i dont have any plans to go down the snorkel route.......

That's the repair kit designed for the problem with the A/C compressor, but will work well for my problem. What is particularly interesting is that the ferrite choke is properly secured in the pictures of the repair kit. My 2007 2.4 is an early one, so it may well be that a token attempt to address the problem was made on later vehicles. |
