v8 in water
Range Rover Blues:
--- Quote from: "way2deep" --- seen many v8's come to grief trying to do what diesels can do.

What, bend a rod? :wink:
Bush Tucker Man:
I know they're properly, & time-consumingly waterproofed, but the british Army used to wade 101FC's to part way up the windscreen.
And what engine did they utilise??? :wink:
combatjohnny:
Done the wading bit and the whole engine is in a neoprine bag with a water tight zip on top, all the dash is in a clear watertight perspex case.
All conections are siliconed and vasolined. this was in 110 defenders with sunroof taken out sitting on roof steering with you feet. fully submerged.

Hi all does anyone know of anywhere that sells a snorkel and breather kit for a 1986 efi rr.Have wanted something with a V8 all my life and don't want a little water to stop my fun.Cheers Pete

There is a guy in Trowbridge who water proofs distributors, clean air is sucked from the air cleaner through the distributor to keep the moisture out. Moisture is the biggest problem with the distributor when hot stuff meats cold water. Steve Gunning is his name and for the cash you also get a completely reconditioned dizzy as well.
It works well I have one on my range rover.. silicon the cap down, spray some silicon over the leads, plugs and electrical’s and off you go 07974697632
