Safari Part Number: SS385HF

Get the best protection and performance for your engine with the 4×4 Safari Snorkel. It is custom-built for the Land Rover Discovery 3 (2006 – 09/2009 2.7L Diesel). This unit has been manufactured by Safari Snorkel, and it is built to deliver the highest volumes of the cleanest, coolest air into your vehicle’s standard air cleaner assembly or filter—thereby guaranteeing that your engine survives in every possible condition including extreme off-roading and heavy rainfall seasons. 

The  SS385HF Land Rover Discovery 3 4×4 Snorkel also raises the air intake to prevent the engine from taking in harmful dust, water, or debris found in off-road adventures. The airflow is not the only thing that is unique, the specialized air ram head is also a very efficient water separator which keeps your system safe from over water in tropical storms. 

This snorkel is also constructed from UV stable cross-linked polyethylene which guarantees it can withstand Australia’s harshest environments. It also ensures high durability and performance at every performance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will this Safari Snorkel fit my 2007 Land Rover Discovery 3 2.7L Diesel?

Yeah, no worries. This snorkel (part number SS385HF) is made specifically for the Land Rover Discovery 3 with the 2.7L diesel engine, built between 2006 and September 2009 (that's the pre-facelift MY10 model). If yours is in that range with that engine, it'll fit perfectly onto your standard air cleaner.

What's the main benefit of fitting a Safari Snorkel to my Discovery 3 for off-roading?

The biggest plus is keeping your engine safe when things get rough. It lifts the air intake right up high on the guard, well away from the dust, mud, and water you'll cop on bush tracks or river crossings. Plus, that special ram head on top is a ripper at separating water out of the air, so your engine stays dry even in a proper tropical downpour.

Is this Safari Snorkel tough enough for Aussie conditions?

Too right, mate. It's proudly Aussie-made from UV-stable cross-linked polyethylene. That means it's built to handle our brutal sun without cracking or fading, and it'll stand up to the dust, heat, and general punishment you'll give it out on the tracks. Properly durable gear.

Does it actually help the engine perform better, or is it just for protection?

It does both! While protection is key, this snorkel is designed specifically for the Disco 3's 2.7L diesel. It pulls in heaps more clean, cool air than the standard setup, especially when you're giving it a bootful off-road. That cleaner, cooler air helps the engine run smoother and more efficiently.

Is it a hard job to fit the Safari Snorkel myself?

It's definitely a job for someone handy with the tools. Safari includes a detailed guide, full fitting instructions, and a spot-on template to help you drill the holes in the right place on your guard and into the engine bay. If you're confident, you can tackle it. But for a perfect, hassle-free fit, plenty of blokes get it professionally installed – we've got experts right here in our Opposite Lock 4x4 workshop in Cardiff, NSW, who know these rigs inside out.
