i am sure if i search long enough i can find the answer to this but i am in a hurry so please don't crucify me.
I was playing on some flooded roads and it got deeper than expected in a dip and the water came up to mid windows but i had enough momentum to get out to shallow water, but as i was coming out the engine started to die so i shut it off immediately and towed it back home. It at no point sat still in any water deeper than 6in. i pulled the air filter and there was water in the intake tube so i let that drain out and took the filter out. there is no water in the oil that i can see. I let it dry a bit and it will start so it is not locked.
I know i need to change all my fluids and air filter but what else do i need to do?

If you like making waves and running thru water really fast, just to look cool, you will pay for it.
By the way, if your filter got wet, your MAF is soon to fail.

To boldly go where wipers can't possibly clear the water on your windscreen is...wow just heroic. How much water got in the cabin btw?
Forget you Mike, that's impressive.

I have driven in water that was apx. 32"s deep and never had a problem, but I was needing to cross a pond not see how big a splash I could make.

i appreciate the judgement for the sake of self glorification in that... and im not even going to justify it beyond that by stating my stance as someone who enjoys all forms of wheeling.

update: stopped by to check out the disco today. the oil looks good no water. it fired right up, but is running a bit off. I didn't put a filter back in bc i haven't had time to pick one up as i work 14 hours a day during the week, so im sure that was part of the problem. I got it in a garage and am going to turn the heat on all day tomorrow to help dry things out a bit better. Then sunday is my first real free day to take things apart and find the problem. I'll keep everyone updated.
and thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to help

ok the rover is back in action I dried the MAFS inside today and checked all the fluids... not a drop of water or milkiness to any of them. I ordered a new KN air filter to be picked up tomorrow, and put the now dry paper one back in. and fired it up and after a bit of smoke shes running like a top.
Thanks again for all the help! i'm one of the few people who can say they have had their land rovers in literally 5ft (i measured for bragging purposes) of water and are still driving it.
