Found that you can buy a copy of the factory snorkel new on eBay 177 shipped

Says v6 but Attaches same spot so doubt there's a difference , same style top as OEM , gonna buy one when funds come up

One on my d1 is a copy like this And works fine

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fits-L319-La...ZXlxj-&vxp=mtr

 

Link doesn't work as is, but if it's the one I think it is, I e-mailed back and forth with them for a while. They adamantly claim that this snorkel will not fit the LR3 V8. Don't know why, but they claim the LR4 is a different fit. They even "went back to their tech dept to verify". Again, I have no idea what the differences are (if any), but that was my experience. If anybody wants to try it out, let me know the outcome!

 

Yeah iirc when I bought my d1 cheapo it was only supposed to work on the diesel engine, works fine

The pics on this lr3/4 snorkel show all the same brackets that are included with the OEM one from rover so idk

I will redo the link

 

Fixed first link here is link to OEM says lr3 and lr4 so do the other styles listed so I think they just don't know what their selling
Genuine Factory Land Rovrer LR3 LR4 Snorkel High Air Intake Duct New | eBay

 

I just ordered this for my 2007 LR3 V8. I'll let you know how it works out.

 

Good option.Kepping my fingers crossed.Let us know how it goes.

 

For the price of the OEM, the safari version is much better. As far as I am aware, the cost differences between the ebay/etc snorkels and the Mantec/OEM/Safari comes down to the quality of the plastics used. Safari commissioned a comparison done between their plastics and a chicom copy of theirs. UV degradation was an issue, brittleness was an issue, I forget the rest. I understood the plastics difference when I held a safari out of the box, their materials are excellent.

Will probably be fine with chicom, but as horrible (and I mean horrible) as it was to install a snorkel on these in the first place, I would NOT want to do it again 5 years later (or sooner).

 

Would someone please share an image of this on their D1

T.I.A.

 

This is for lr3 look in d1 section , different style

 

Opps!
Sorry about that, dont know how I stumbled into the LR3 forum.
