Right i am still in two minds about which snorkel to get...after dismissing the blingy southdown and not being a big fan of safari's then that leaves me with mantec...bearing in mind its goin on my 200tdi i have a choice of the new style plastic one...which i like the design of the wing fittings on...or the old school style steel one...which will be a bit more sturdy and looks abit more classic landy style? In your opinions which out of the two do you recon? Any pics of fitted mantecs would be cool also. Has anyone had problems fitting a snorkel with their roof light bars...just thinking the mushroom might rub on the corner of my light bar....will attach a pic so you can see what i mean...any help is much appreciated

cheers

Nice that. Reckon an aluminium or steel will fit well on yours, plastic would seem a bit out of place with all the metal gear you already have.
 
Thanks mate...yeah thats what i though...old school style one would be best...and cheaper which is a bonus. Any idea if it will fit with the light bar? thanks
 
While we're on the subject..on my 90 theres nowhere to put a snorkel on the sides of the wing...only on the wing tops...any idea where i can get a snorkel thats designed for there? Or do i have to change the passenger wing?

if ya dont have a wing vent why not do it how i have and just drill a hole out for the flexi hose..
 
Wicked cheers mate. Take it its easy to fit? Im guessing that without a cage u have to bolt/rivet or rivnut into the door frame for the supporting brackets?

I think it took me about 45mins to fit, and yep with out the cage you would just fix it to the door pillar

Blimey, thats cheap...should be able to adapt that so it fits on the passenger side..or is it universal fitting anyway?

it a good deal realy less than of the price of a real mantec and looks as good, if you got a 200 tdi one like in the link it would be for the passenger side
