Just out of interest I am intrigued to know why you were relieved to have a snorkel? How far over the bonnet did the water go? I've had water over the bonnet of my TDI Disco and V8 RRC and they were both as happy as larry.

Is the intake on a V8 Disco low then?

I have had a lot of trouble with my v8 on gas conking out when it sniffs water, As soon as there is a splash of water on the intake it would cut out, now the snorkle is fitted it seems to like water a little more.

drmike:
Must have fixed a problem for you then.

I think I was still on gas when I went deep but V8's are fussy so and so's! And being a RRC I think the intake is higher.

Usually if it cut out in water I would just switch to petrol and it would be better but now I run purely on LPG as the fuel pump is out of action so I need to be a little more careful!

been down today for a quick look and there is a new sign saying it is an offence to cross with mechanically propelled vehicle, but there are still tracks coming out of the water  :roll:
A while back, we went down, as we like to walk round and feed the ducks and trout, and as we were in RR we got a local telling us he would ring the police if we drove through as it was being argued as a ROW.  As we had just parked up and had a bag of 2 day old Hovis in hand did they think we were going to walk it?
(Even tho I have walked it  :roll: )
