how do i waterproof the computer in my rover?

also any suggestions on door seals?


thanks
guys.

 

Did you do a search on the forum? I thought I saw a post explaining how to do it but I can't remember for sure. I was thinking a thick plastic bag and duct tape the crap out of it around the wiring harness going in to the computer. The computer will handle a good amount of water without a problem in stock form but it's not going to like being submerged completely.

AB sells new door seals but they're really expensive. I am thinking of trying a universal weatherstripping to replace the torn seal at the bottom of my driver door.

 

Seal the factory "splits" in the door seals front and rear with RTV or similar sealant. thats the first place the water comes in!!

 

Call Justin at Lucky8LLC. You'll have to send your ECU to him, but this is what you get back.

 

awesome!!

 

If you have a DII your ECU is under the dash and does not need to be waterproofed... Unless you plan on completely FLOODING your cab..

Do the door seals. That will keep 99% of any water out of the cab.

 

i got a 2000 disco II. i think if i show some love to my existing door seals then i will be ok. thanks guys.
btw what does the lucky 8 treatment cost?

 

Step 1 - Stop driving into lakes.

Problem solved!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

You know you're never gonna live that down right?

 

Around 200. Can't remember if it is 150 or 250. lol. Or around there..

99% sure your Main ECU is in the cab under the glove box. And only water is getting to it is if you flood your cab. Water over your seats ect..

 

then maybe i need to get it lucky 8'd afterall. im probally the guy most likely to flood my cab. i DID drive into a lake once remember. and a swamp. and... nevermind
