L90OOK:
I have a V8 & diesels & have no problem with either in deep water.  I do take time to waterproof the V8 well with silicone grease but it never misses a beat under water.  8)

mark.yellow.series.3:
this is the only pic i have of mine in the water



but at work last week i steam cleaned the engine, totally soaked the dizzy and leads. just for a laugh i thought i wopuld see if it starts, and i did all 8 of em.

mine has a luminition kit, high output electronic type coil. thats it. and its never cut out (or even lost a cylinder), when all the elecy is wet through.

Somehow I think the Army would dispute that when they used the 10FC in amphiibious trials.
The 'plimsoll line' was half-way up the windscreen, & that was in the sea, not a wading tank!!!

as you say it was a 'trial'

Yes, but it was also done during exercises & therefore accepted practice


Occasionally Craddocks sell waterproofed distributors & HT leads for the V8

have a set o them for sale if any one is interested

Lucy1978:
the 24v electrics fitted to the 101 are actually pretty tolerant of water, the dizzy iirc is sealed and the ht leads are fully screened with a screw fitting on to the plugs and dizzy cap.
