Safe Wading Deph of Disco 2 V8?

(1/3) > >>

Not as daft as the question may sound!!!

Been wading many times in my Disco 1 tdi, now I have a Disco 2 V8 which I took wading today in some floods.  :P

I know about the bow wave & in take height & breather pipe mods etc, but what about all me accessories?
I have been thinking about this for a couple of months but have not yet had time to "mess" with me motor, you know what I mean, you need to know what is where n stuff.

So!
Where is the breather (if there is one) for me auto box?
Air suspension, the pump & valves are under near side on chassis, and I presume the feed pipe is located high up, or is it? I hope so because the flood I went through was deep in places & I hit the suspension up button!!!!
There is a box just behind my transfer box with a load of rubber pipes coming out, I can only presume vacume pipes because they go to the engine. Is this Ok with water?
As I said I have had no time to tinker with her & I wanna go play without the expensive repairs through non-preperation.

Last of all, what is this (the attached pic)?
I have a pipe on the offside of the engine bay that looks lost!!!

All answers are greatfully received. I presume Land Rover beat me to it & have protected all these, but who knows?

Skibum346:
Losat pipe... old air con or heater...?

Looks to be going through the bulhead so...  :?

smurf:
Nope, all accessories still fitted & functional.
It goes down behind engine & disappears, I don't think it goes through bulkhead.
I'm gettin worried now..... :?

Here is a close up.

Jimbo:
Gearbox and axle breathers should appear on the bulkhead - just above where the passengers feet would be (if that makes sense), the air suspension 'air intake' is behind the nearside rear upper light cluster.

Supposed max wading depth for a D2 is 500mm !!!

smurf:
Thanks for the reply.
I have had a very quick look & the front axle breather is top of bulkhead on the drivers side, another breather is on the passenger side. It comes up and hides behind the rocker cover. The rear axle breather is just inside near side rear wheel arch.  As pointed out by Jimbo the air suspension is behind rear light cluster. Think I got those right!
There is still a breather missing, not sure if its the transfer case or auto box breather, I will have to trace what I have already found.

I'm posting this here because before I asked on here I did a google search and found nothing! So this is mine and any one elses reference. I hope someone will find it usefull.

As for the "lonelly pipe" I have posted a picture of, still have no idea what it is. It does say "fbx Bag" on it. ????????
