Very impressed with the Safari kit I put on the vitara. had to keep going through the pond/river just to be sure :)

[timberdog]

I said cheap :roll:  :roll:

[Henry Webster]

I say diy version then.  Or don't bother, do you really want to go in that deep?

[NiceBlueWellies]

Safari every time. That's what I got for the Disco.    

Well worth the money.

Wish they would invent something that would stop water getting onto the carpets and making them smell.  :shock:

Rebel 4x4 if it is for a Defen'er, cheap and does the job, in my opinion it looks better than those plastic ones anall.

Home made mate, mine cost me the grand total of £15 for bits from B & Q.

Its all a matter of taste- i take pride in the way my motor is finished i want it to look as pro -finished as poss, i just couldnt have a lenghth of drain pipe attached to the truck, Southdown stainless if you have the dosh
if not Safari or Mantec,

I'm going to make one using cheap parts off ebay when I get the chance.  Not necessarily so I can wade, but if you saw the contents of my oil bath air filter after a day of laning you'd understand the need.

I reckon those tractor air intake tops on ebay are great value @ only £6 but only 50mm. Ok for a suzuki or similar engine sized 4x4. You really want the 75mm type for a landrover .They are £24  from Matt Savage. Get some 3" pipe from an exhaust place and a bit of flexi from most pipe places.
You can use 2 old rangie filler necks as they split at the body but the bend is perfect. Ask at a few LR garages .
The paddocks one is only £65 so probably just worth getting that and adapting it for your needs.
Drain pipe is ok untill a branch breaks it and wading is over for day. OK if you just want it for water and dont do a lot of close laning !

IMHO.........you need something you can trust not to leak or fail when in water..........could ture out to be a very expencive snorkel if you get water in your engine...........Safari snorkel all the way.
Not heard any bad thing from them.

i think jim has the idea and if i remeber right they are cheap about 69 pounds

Paddocks - they make a mantec copy (or mantec make it for them!) and its brilliant, really well made, fits well and it seals well even without the silicone that is provided (yup, i got it everywhere but at least definatly it wont leak!)

cost about £60 so pretty cheap.

cheers got loads of good ideas now

thank you all

Douglass Motors have some take off military V8 snorkels at the moment. They have enough tubing to make it possible to fit to other vehicles easily. Seem like decent people and local as well.

The one I have recently bought will be fitted to an ex-military 110 though (sorry Henry) but I'm going to do as much as I can to protect the Stunned Buffalo motor that will be dropped into the engine bay soon.

I gotta safari one on my 90 - great unless you want to fit an external  rollcage at some point.
