Snorkel.

Is that a Trooper air intake i see on your bonnet? If so, why have you got it facing the opposite way?

Maybe I'm being a little thick but.... I'm sure there is a very good reason & someone will put me right.

Nice job with the snorkel by the way - credit to your mate!

All I can think of is to allow heat to escape. There are companies that mould hoods to lift up the rear and allow heat out.
I could be wrong though!

Yes, David. It is off a Trooper. It's turned backwards to vent out hot air, rather than to scoop cold air in. The theory behind it being, that as air is forced into the engine bay, after passing through the radiator, the engine bay is filled with high temperature, high (ish) pressure air. Due to the aerodynamics of the truck, the vent area is at a much lower pressure, thus allowing a reasonable flow of the hot under bonnet air to escape. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for your comment on the snorkel, but my mate deserves all the fitting credit, I just stood by, made suggestions, prodded stuff, and pointed at things, rather a lot.........

Looks like it will do the job.

Two questions,
1 how much was it?

2 is it hard plastic or does it have some give?

£120.00 delivered, Ady. It's made of LLDPE Polyethylene, so it's quite hard and tough, without being brittle.

It seems to be good quality, in LLDPE, and with a pretty comprehensive fitting kit. At the same quoted price of £120.00 delivered,

I can't be bothered to read the thread, what vehicle did you fit it to?
