Land Rover Part Number: STC50265 - Raised Air Intake Kit
STC50265 is a Raised Air Intake Kit. Fitted to Defender 300Tdi and Td5 models, this raised intake repositions the engine air inlet to a higher point on the vehicle body to reduce the risk of water ingestion and to draw cleaner air during off-road use. Installation typically involves routing the intake ducting to the factory airbox and securing the head unit to the vehicle body; final installation details vary by model and engine. Fitment is specific to Defender models equipped with 300Tdi or Td5 engines, so confirm against chassis or V.I.N. before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
STC50265 raises the vehicle's air entry point above the usual splash line, reducing the chance of water being drawn into the air intake during river crossings or deep standing water and helping to source cleaner air from higher on the vehicle. The kit interfaces with the factory airbox via ducting and requires secure mounting of the head unit to the vehicle body. Check model and engine compatibility before fitting to ensure correct installation.
