--- Quote from: "banditman" ---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:

I wouldn't mind knowing how he got on :D I am all to aware that mine does get a bit close to been damp at times, I might explore the tupaware box at some point, as I reckon the seat box is nigh on impossible to seal successfully. That said I might strip out the contents, and give it a really good go with the sealant first. Ofcourse the next problem is the fuses which are all just infront of the gear lever, and just as vunerable.
davidlandy:
I think that the ecu is far more vulnerable than the fuses - i have had my fuses under water with no probs to speak of , but i have heard of a few td5s with flooding probs.
drum:
Oh I agree dave, the ECU is the first to tackle, however I reckon if you short your fuses out the worst you might do is blow a bulb or similar. With mine a shorted fuse, could lead to a short been fed to the ECU and back to the same scenrio.
Remind me why did I buy a TD5??
