Has anyone had any clearance problems with wider wheel arches and the air intake when fitting them on a td5 defender that has a Safari snorkel as there doesnt appear to be a lot of room between the standard arch and snorkel, if anyone has fitted them to td5 which arches did you use
 
cant see the td5 being any different from my 200 tdi,apart from being on a different side..i didnt have any probs

cheers...the 1st set just broke too easy so i spose that i see the 2nd set as value for money..

hi mate completely remove the existing archs then using a stanley knife cut of the inner part of the original arch and then using self tappers simply refit it..job done.hth...rich
 
Sorry about bringing up an old post but what size tyres and wheels have you got on the orange 90 WLM? Also the offset? Cheers
 
i would send WLM a pm buddy. this thread is old and im sure he's had a couple of motors since then anyways.


EDIT:

They look like your insa turbo type tyre. Maybe there simex, silverstones or fedimas.
