How to Properly Use and Maintain a Snorkel System

When using a snorkel system on your Land Rover, ensure the intake is positioned above water level and airflow is unobstructed. Regularly inspect and clean the snorkel for debris and water accumulation to maintain its effectiveness and prevent engine damage.

I've found that the snorkel system on my Defender is one of its most underrated features. When used correctly it can be a game changer in deep water fording, allowing your engine to breathe while keeping the air intake system dry. Make sure to keep the snorkel itself clean and free from debris, and also ensure the hose is securely attached to prevent any water ingress into the vehicle's interior. Regularly checking and maintaining the snorkel will give you peace of mind when driving in wet conditions.
