RE: flooded disco
Is your battery fully charged ?
All those things lead to the fuse box - did you get any water 'inside' the truck ?
Stick ur head under the dash and pull the fuse leading to the starter / radio / cig lighter / p. windows
let us know what you see there ..
definitly reset that switch like mike said.
if you vehicle is stuck in gear .. How did you move it when all 4 tires won't budge ? if it's out of park - you should be able to move the gear selector, if it's stuck in park and you're not getting power, than you have to manually change gears underneath ... (learned that the hard way :P )
keep posting, most responses the better ..

Land Rover used to have this info on their web-site, gas engines dont have enough compression to put a hole in a piston when you hydro lock it.

With an 8:1 compression ratio,a piston need only suck in 12.6% of the cylinder's total BDC displacement to hydro lock the engine on a compression stroke.

Hydro lock, yah ... but enough power to snap a rod or break piston head ?

RE: flooded disco
He has already said he has no water in the air filter, so let lean toward what may be going on.
As for hydro-locking and engine, most alloy engine will blow out a cylinder wall if the piston takes more then an inch of water.
Check the main fuse block, is the main fuse, a 130 amp, has it popped?
