I like this movie. Land Rovers in Deep Deep Water (HiQltyVid) - YouTube Most of them are diesels though.

I'm not really keen to try to setup my V8 for deep water because I usually wheel alone and almost all of the deep water around here are rivers and creeks that are sensitive with sensitive riparian zones around them that shouldn't be screwed around in. I live in the Great Basin near the Eastern Sierra. It's arid and water and water-rich areas a more precious than they are in those soggy climates.

 

glad you are sensitive to the envoirnment. people like you help us to keep access to public lands open.

 

Best quote in the vid:

"Nothins got an engine made for water unless it's a boat"

LOL

 

I am a total new guy when it comes to Discos but what happened to his car? Water log? ECM short? And why do the diesels do better in the water than the V8?

 

Perfect time to use the phrase : "Quit while you're ahead"

 

Probably shorted out the ignition system. A diesel once it is running ignites via compression alone. It has no electronic ignition system to fail. As long as it can get fuel and air, it will run.

 

Oh why oh why did the US not import the diesel. lol

 

yep!
:d

 

brings back memories.. Except mine was floating and over the hood. The the discovery's already HORRIBLE electronics, you can blame it on almost anything. I think a went crank sensor is a BAD thing and then again even as little as the alarm system getting wet can kill it.

 

If you are stupid enough to go out and play in the water during Hurricane conditions, then you deserve to get stuck, hope the idiot fried it all.
