Seriously tempted by that, and had thought about it before, but I'm note sure what sort of heat dissapation is required.

--- Quote from: "drum" ---No I've not moved it, and I haven't moved the throttle potentiometer either :D
The question is, where would I move them to, When ever I've checked under the seat boxes, the tide mark on the ECU one is only an inch or so, and the ECU is mounted right at the top. Even after a prolonged wading session. In anything with a bulkhead\mesh divide it's easy stick at the top of that, but the only sensible place I could put it, would be the above the roof lining, which means near enough stripping it out :( So the other option is to waterproof the seat box, which is fine, but I'm not sure how the water is getting in. I've silconed the obvious holes, but it still gets in, and if your not careful all you do is trap the water in.

seal it all up & fit a small bilge pump,was watching the OBC 2003 & thats what the aussies have on there nissans etc
drum:
I thought I had sealed it but it still leaks, and I don't really think there is room for a pump really. Obviously the answer is to have a play vehicle, and a work vehicle rather than one combined, then I can modifiy it abit more radically.

Last time I was up there Drum, brand new TD5 90 drowned completely due to ECU in the lake and was last seen waiting for the breakdown truck to arrive wondering how he was going to get it on Warranty......was going to go for Warranty on the basis that the ECU under the seat seats below the wading depth in the handbook so it wasn't his fault......
Having said that, your wading depth of 8 foot may affect that in some way :lol: :shock: :shock:
banditman:
And sorry Jim-wily but I have to tell to help you out against all this ribbing...
After he slid graciously down the bank and settled on the rock, Jim-wily said to me
"[!Expletive Deleted!], now the're all gonna think I'm stuck....I could drive out of this easy but I refuse to scratch my Mud Club member sticker on that rock so I'll have to get Drum to spin me round a bit!"
Telling you, it's true :wink:
