johnniep:
ive always found just a new set of plugs leads and distributor cap and rotor does the trick, i don tdo deep deep wadeing but for the odd deep puddle, and just give it a good rev after, also i dont have a snorkle.

Pete5844 as was:
So is it a case of getting a universal snorkle and making the [!Expletive Deleted!] fit then,remembering to always to go off road with a mate that has a diesel just incase. :lol:

jjsaul:
wd40 / spray grease over all the electrics in the engine bay

scrap the viscous and fit switchable electric fans

ive had water over the bonnet of out 110 v8 and not had a problem

ScrumpyJack:
I had all the same probs in the wife’s little V8, it hated the water, tried the sealing the dizzy, spray grease, drilled the dizzy cap ran tube through to circulate air, plastic bottles and the like,
now I just wrap the whole dizzy and the coil in bubble wrap, yes bubble wrap, it's not just for wrapping your eblag items in,
I do leave a small plastic pipe poking through the top of the b wrap so I can squirt wd40 in when needed, works great

Pete,

I've just built myself a home made snorkel using nothing more complex than 68mm drainpipe. And that was on my Disco so it went along the wing.... RRC snorkel would be a doddle!
