Ok, I have just found out that there is quite a tasty river ford not 20 mins away from me that I knew nothing about  :roll:    :lol:  :lol: My question is this. What precautionary task's should i be undertaking ?? So far i've replaced the front spoiler,( I figured it would give me a better bow wave) and covered everything in damp start. Oh and cable tied a bin bag around the ecu  :wink:  Any other idea's from you fellow water dweller's  :lol: WD40 ? Should this be used before wading or after and if i do get submerged, what is the best way to get the green beastie running again ??
P.S. 3.9 V8, no back box GGGRRRRRRRRR  :twisted:

Bowie:
Just how deep is it?

barriesheene:
I prefer to talk in height rather than depth  :shock:  as in the height of the splash I can make  :lol:  :lol:  Seriously probably bonnet height in places but these can be avoided,( but probably wont  :roll:  )  :lol:  :lol:

Distributor in a rubber glove, leads through the fingers all cable tied up after greasing....there is a company that makes a special '9 fingered glove' effectively that is purpose designed but a glove will suffice...

also decent thick high quality ht leads rather than the thin crap normal ones

had an idea with the bobtail but never got around to it of..

half a 2 litre pop bottle upturned, remove dizzyreplace dizzy through pop bottle neck and seal neck.
cut slots in the side for the leads, do the same in the chopped off top half and slot back together and silicon... ie the dizzy is now sealed in a pop bottle..

wire a 12volt windscreen washer pump to pump air along a tube into the pop bottle and run it as an overpressure system a la military NBC proofed vehicles... as long as the bottle was not totally sealed this would be an ideal solution????

Cheers Steve
