You may have a problem depending on how far along the wing the snorkel comes. I think someone else had a similar problem a while ago in that the 200 (and 300 non-ABS) snorkels were shorter and therefore came through the wing more or less in line with the ABS gear.

The airbox is also a potential problem, but a mate fixed that by simply grafting a 200TDI airbox onto his 300TDI. The ABS location is more difficult to fix and TBH I'd buy the proper part rather than messing around, unless the 200TDI snorkel is incredibly cheap.

Have a look at the link below as it shows exploded drawings of the Safari Snorkel range.

I've just reserved mine and collect it on Saturday - Birthday present from SHMBO...!!!

Got a Mantec on my 300 disco in my opinon its the better one to got for as there is no plastic sticking out the side to get ripped off or split if you catch it aginst something  :)

Well I've picked up my snorkel this morning - going to fit it tomorrow... :D Got my mate coming round to cut the holes in the wing as I'm far to scared to do it myself... :shock: :shock: :shock: fingers crossed everything goes ok... [-o<
