even the Disco3 chaps think the air intake is on the side  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Great, but how do you know that this was 700mm?

That should have been 600mm

FL2 was actually tested to 600mm by LR so we was told by member "insider" Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Its easy to calculate water depth. See attached video of me on Strata Florida.

You can see with both my vid and Npinks vid that its up to the top of the wheels...all agreed???

With My wheels i was running 235/60/18's This equates to a width of 235 mm. with a side wall height of 60% of this giving a side wall height of 141mm.

Therefore wheel diameter (water depth) is side wall height at the bottom of the tyre (141mm) plus 18" rims (18*25.4=457mm) plus to top wall of the tyre (141mm) giving a total wheel/tyre diameter of 739mm ie water depth of 739mm. Npinks looks even deeper than this if you ask me! Freelander 2 XS 2.2 TD4 Met Black, with Winter pack, 18" alloys with General Grabber AT2 wellies, MANTEC Sump and Tank Guards

I will renew the argument here. the side vents are cosmetic , the only air input into the air filter box comes from just under the headlight. there are no ducts leading into the wing or anywhere else near the side vent. At work

Noted, but I still stand by my previous statements, and will, when not working 23 1/2 hours a day, take some photos for you guys.  Freelander 2 XS 2.2 TD4 Met Black, with Winter pack, 18" alloys with General Grabber AT2 wellies, MANTEC Sump and Tank Guards

LAR has a macrocat if the filter system showing it terminating at the side vent



I am 100% that was not on my first FL2 but torch in hand it is on my new one

so EDSNOW is right aswell, LR must have changed/missed/forgotten this from early production cars  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Not so cosmetic after all

100% that my old didn't have this extra part so not proven wrong, I just didn't know LR had changed it  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Thank you for saving me the effort of stripping my car again just for photos to show you guys. Freelander 2 XS 2.2 TD4 Met Black, with Winter pack, 18" alloys with General Grabber AT2 wellies, MANTEC Sump and Tank Guards

Sorry for my wry English. I began to study it recently.
I'll be thankful for your corrections of my mistakes

I have been looking for a snorkel since before I bought the car. After discussion with various LRE guys rumour has it that LR took the FL2 on an expedition to Iceland during testing, and when crossing rivers they had to send disco accross first and then winch the FL2 across because it floated, hence why no snorkel.

Personally I'm still not convinced and want a snorkel. If anyone finds one please let me know. Freelander 2 XS 2.2 TD4 Met Black, with Winter pack, 18" alloys with General Grabber AT2 wellies, MANTEC Sump and Tank Guards
