Yup, the LR one. Safari one looks like the world's biggest ball ache to fit and only beneficial if you plan on remaking Das Boot with a Disco3 in the starring role.
So could you thread a silicone turbo hose through the length of the LR one and seal it at the filter box for the best of both worlds?
Were I ever to get a permission slip/blackmail photos to purchase a raised intake, IMHO I'd prefer the looks of the LR one...but as usual I want to have my cake and eat it so would want to try and convert it to a nuclear sub capable snorkel. After all based on last year, come the next hosepipe ban I'll be needing one...Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Transgenic tomato anyone?
Land Rover have confirmed they won't budge on price, so anyone wanting a raised air intake is recommended to ring Nick at Yeovil for the D3 20% discount, bringing the price down from £318.44 to £254.75, plus £10.50 p&p. Pretty decent saving, I reckon.
You can call Nick on 01935 476660I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Or you could keep your eye on ebay....I saw one go for £51 once....
It's probably because it went for so little that we haven't seen once since. Trust me, I look for them daily!I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

That's what I paid, plus fitting at Yeovil. Nick's top bloke for parts & great rates for fitting.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know what Yeovil are like for servicing? i.e. costs & standards? Thanks.
Dom Harvey thoroughly rates them. Haven't had to have mine serviced yet, but will be giving them a go when it's due.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

OK, thanks. I will most likely give them a try when I am over that way.
