Hi,
To those of you who have fitted a snorkel on a Gen 3 Pajero DiD 2001, can you please share some picture of how the setup looks inside the engine bay and how everything fits together onto the Air cleaner?
All i can find is of the setup process up to the point where the hole is drilled and then fitted to the fender but nothing inside and i dont know anyone near me thats got one fitted to have a first hand view.
Any recommended fitters in the Gauteng (Roodepoort, Pretoria) area?

After this:
Hope you find a good supplier!

It depends on which make you take. The Safari one goes into the outer fender and then run inside the outer and inner fender to the front of the airbox where it enters the engine bay and then join up with the airbox from the side. The Airtec from TJM one enters the outer and inner fender at the same spot and join the engine bay behind the airbox and then join on the same spot but from the rear with the airbox.
I tried looking on my Pajero photoset but don't seem to have a picture of that part of the engine bay on there yet. Will take one this weekend and update the set. I have a Safari snorkel fitted.

There is also a local guy that makes/sells snorkels for the Pajero Gen3 which is cheaper than the Australian Safari and Airtec ones. I think his name is Bruce http://www.summit4x4.co.za/

But that is also the exact reason i decided to invest in one.
To my horror i have read about the stories here and the 4x4 forum about drowning the engine
and the cost involved to fix.rather be safe than sorry
Had a look and saw they are advertised @ R1800. Not bad price compared to other prices i got. i recon then it will be a DIY fitThere is also a local guy that makes/sells snorkels for the Pajero Gen3 which is cheaper than the Australian Safari and Airtec ones.

Don't worry, if I took that dip in my first outing I would have needed a replacement drivers-seat!JohanV wrote: Go easy on me, it was my first outing as a pilot

I can really recommend Dune Offroad, they fitted a Safari Snorkel to my Gen 3 and their attention to detail is exceptional.JohanV wrote: Any recommended fitters in the Gauteng (Roodepoort, Pretoria) area?
Robert and Johan personally do the fitment.

Hi
I bought one of those cheaper snorkels (from 4x4direct) and it looks pretty good. Haven't installed it yet, but the quality seems just fine. It's definitely an almost exact copy of the Safari design though. Seeing as fitting instructions weren't included, I scoured the net looking for Safari instructions. This was the best I could find:
It gives the basic idea, you need to cut holes in the fender (template provided), then the existing hole on the inside fender is enlarged (by using a temp blanking plate, provided) and then the airbox needs to be moved back a bit by using the provided brackets to make way for the snorkel piping.
I'm not a fan of the design, it makes it very difficult to change your headlight globes - you basically have to disassemble some of the snorkel piping. The TJM design seems better, *but* apparently their snorkel is only for the non-ABS Gen3's and afaik we don't get those here although were available down under. Their piping runs at the back of the airbox but the ABS controller is in the way on the ABS models.

On the Safari design you dont need to remove snorkel parts to change the one headlight's globes. But you do need to remove the whole headlight which equals to 4 x nr10 bolts. Only problem is that you need to remove the grill as well, about 6 clips that needs to be unclipped without breaking them and also dig underneath the wheel well cover for the one situated there. I have mastered this to an art by now, but it still is a pain I agree. This is one of the reasons why I have not put in the Osram Nightbreaker globes again in my vehicle, even though they give better light, they don't last as long as the normal globes.

Hi Cats
Thanks for the info. When I bought my Pajero I had to polish the headlights and re-coat them (Glassylite works marvelously). I took a look at those clips on the grill and the ones holding the wheel arch lining in place and gave up, polished the headlights in place.
Perhaps I'll be brave enough to give it another go once my snorkel is on! I'm using night breakers at the moment, can't imagine not, I definitely feel they work way better than standard bulbs.
