Video summary
- The video is about installing a raised air intake (snorkel) on a Land Rover Defender.

- The installation process involves removing side panels, cutting retaining clips, and fitting gaskets, lower pieces, and the main snorkel tube.
- Three longer bolts and one shorter bolt are used due to the depth of the plastic housing.

- The installation took about an hour and improved the vehicle's look and potential wading capability.
