| Snorkel from LR and alternative |
|
Hi Folks,
i am looking for a snorkel for my D3 and found the original Land Rover snorkel (VPLAP0018). I think it's a expensive solution and so i am searching for an alternative. I found the safari ones and also the OEM's. BUT from the design, the origianl from LR is for my opinion the best.
Does anyone of you know, if there is an OEM to the one from LR or where i can get the snorkel cheaper ?? 
Thnaks !

LR do not do a snorkel, it is a raised air intake (RAI). The difference being that it is not water tight. If you want/need a full snorkel, get a Safari Snorkel. But I'm not sure if these are any cheaper and they are more involved to install but are fully sealed from the top down to the airbox.
That said, I've always use a LR RAI, and never had any issues wading or drying in dusty environments, plus I prefer the look of the LR RAI.
There are offer RAI's on ebay or occasionally on here, so I'd look there for a good deal on a used one.
