TJM's Airtec Snorkel 2003/2004 confusion. HELP!

[Flea]

Hey team,

I have an Oct 03 built MY04 Pajero. TJM Kilsyth called Airtec apparently to see if they could do snorkel, and don't want to commit to my Paj as they are unsure of fitment due to the close 03 build 04 model gap.



Has anyone got the same model as mine or can answer the question of the 03 model have different front guard ergo's to the 04, making the 04 Airtec snorkel unsuited to the 03? That's their question... Mine is MY04 the local Mitsubishi dealer tells me, so I don't see TJM's problem?

From what I've seen under the hood, the TJM/Airtec is far cleaner fit than Safari.

HELP!

I had fun with this about a year ago.
Mine was a 2003 exceed.

The issue seems to be with the early models with abs only.

From what I could work out after about 10 phone calls:

if you have no abs it should fit.
If you have pre my04 with abs only then it doesnt fit (unit gets in the way)
if you have pre my04 with traction control & abs it does fit. (well , it did in mine)

The pre my04 with traction control/abs is the same brake unit still used on later models.

I had TJM do a mock fitment without drilling holes to check it would fit

If you want I can send you some pics .

Gday Ashley they like to make it hard hey.. Mine's a GLX with ABS and traction control, sounds like a good idea getting them to do the mock before drilling. If you can send some pics that will be a great help mate, appreciate it.

If your comppiance plate is marked M04, it will fit.
M03, you are out of luck.
Cheers, Dan.

mine is a dec02 build, with 1/03 on the compliance plate.
because I have the exceed, I had traction control.

As has been posted above, if yours is my04 then you should be ok.

Not necessarily manufactured year 04 (MY04), you need to see "M04" stamped on the compliance plate which lives up on the drivers side of the firewall.
Cheers, Dan.
