Safari Snorkel for Land Rover Defender 300 Series 03/1994 Onwards 2.5L Diesel

Safari Part Number: SS550HF

Safari Land Rover Defender 300 Series 4×4 Snorkel

Conquer Australia’s toughest trails with ease using the Safari 4×4 Snorkel for Land Rover Defender 300 Series. The snorkel is designed with precision to ensure a great quantity of clean, cool air to your engine even in the toughest environments.

This Safari SS550HF 4×4 Land Rover Defender 300 Series Snorkel is custom made for Land Rover Defender 300 Series Snorkels for 03/1994 Onwards 2.5L Diesel. You’ll find integrating the snorkel perfectly places the air intake system higher, providing your engine with cleaner, cooler air and preventing water, dust, and debris from entering, making it your perfect partner on tough terrains and when facing harsh weather.

This Diesel engine’s performance is matched by an equally capable intake SS550HF snorkel system. It also helps maintain your air intake’s security on deep water crossings and dusty trails. The Safari snorkel is constructed using UV-stable, cross-linked polyethylene which makes it not only prone to sustaining exposure from harsh environments during the toughest Aussie adventures, but unmatched in safeguards. Also, for the 2.5L Diesel engine, the snorkel’s airflow supply needs are required to be equally matched.

The Safari air ram has two uses; not only does it cool down the air before supplying it to your engines, but also works as an efficient rainwater intake the engine’s intake could use for downpour. That way, in case of heavy tropical rain, the engine would still work perfectly.

  • Precision Australian Design:  Moulded and manufactured by Safari Automotive in Australia to guarantee rugged performance on Aussie terrain.
  • Elevated Air Intake System: Effective for deep water crossings or dusty outback tracks. These systems are designed to keep damaging components like dust, sand, and water from entering the engine.
  • High-Performance Airflow: Air intake optimization for a 2.5L diesel engine provides for smoother operation and greater protection of the engine.
  • Advanced Water Separation: The snorkel’s specially designed air ram preconditions the airflow directed to your snorkel to remove any rainwater before it reaches the air filter.
  • Built-In Durability: These components are made from cross-linked polyethylene that is UV resistant, providing excellent durability and long life.
  • Ease of Installation: Supplied with complete installation instructions along with a fitting guide and template that allow DIY and professional installers to achieve precision workmanship.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will this Safari Snorkel (SS550HF) definitely fit my Land Rover Defender 300 Series?

Yes, but only if yours is the 2.5L Diesel model built from March 1994 onwards. Double-check your engine and build date before ordering.

How exactly does this snorkel stop water wrecking my engine on deep crossings?

It raises the air intake point high up near the roofline, well away from water spray or submersion. This lets your engine breathe clean air even when tackling deep creek crossings common on Aussie tracks.

Do I need a pro to install it, or can I DIY it in the shed?

While some experienced owners tackle it themselves, professional installation is highly recommended. It involves cutting a precise hole in your guard (wing) and connecting it properly to the airbox. Our Opposite Lock Cardiff workshop specialises in these fittings - we get it right.

Will the Aussie sun turn this thing brittle and crack it?

Nah, it's built tough. The snorkel's made from UV-stable polyethylene, specifically designed to handle harsh Australian sun and conditions without fading or cracking prematurely.
