I had my 200tdi running in standing water half way up the windscreen. Could you really waterproof the coil, dizzy, plugs and leads on a V8 so it would do that?
jonny ramrod:
but does your diesel sound like a v8.. :twisted: :twisted:
I would never have anything but lpg now... Sooooo much cleaner than petrol or diesel.

The last off road day I did, a fortnight ago, there was myself (D2 V8 with snorkel, a D3 TDv6, and another D1 V8 with snorkel) We all went to the same places and water was way up over the bonnet a LOT.
After the event we were chatting about snorkel set up (as we had all 3 generations of Disco there) and we found out the other guy had not fitted his snorkel correctly, so effectively did all of it without a snorkel :rolleyes: !!! His airfilter box was filled with mud, I wish I had taken photo's now.
Anyway, I now have supreme confidence in the V8, just a bit of preparation (or not!!) and they are fine :D :D

Love my v8 and yes its on lpg. just come back form a week in south wales did over 500 miles and cost me £80 in fuel. So got about 14-15mpg. And only time it don't like water is when on lpg as my evaporator is fitted low down on my inner wing. And also flood a petrol engine and it may cough and miss for a bit flood a diesel and bang. And the old army v8's could ford upto and over the windowscreen
