3" exhaust pipe with 2 bends and some reinforced flexible hose is all you need, i take it yours has the single oval filter housing with intake in the middle ?

You know these model bolt for bolt.

You will need to cut a hole in the decker panel ( between bonnet and windscreen) if you look at the post up your rovers post, there will be some with snorkles fitted. Yours will be on the opposite side being a lhd vehicle.

Looking at the pics it seems the snorkle is fitted to an injection engine mine is a carby i so the hose should be connected to the central air inlet.

Actually, if you take another look to the left of all the snorkle stuff you were busy looking at, in his first photo, you'll realise that its a 300Tdi - not even a petrol engine, so injection would be the least of the differences :P

carbie snorkle

Post by Fubar Paul »

lets keep it simple .use your standard bends out of the carbi then 3" hose join to a T pice made out of 3" exhaust pipe .the botom leg of the T runs to the front of the car between the carbies then with some 3" flex you run up to a standard EFI air filter then in to your snorkle.
Hope this helps ,I do have pics if required
