That must have been close to the air intake. That was my thoughts on seeing those piccies just after the original link posting. > he's got a nice bow-wave though, so not quite as bad as it looks. Well a standard disco is only speced to wade to 18", just over half way up the wheels, not to the top of the wheel arches, bow wave or not. B-) I guess Nige had the same thoughts as I had when I took the old Mondeo through water rather deeper than I expected, bow wave doing a similar thing onto the Mondeo bonnet. Thoughts like "oh sh.t, don't stop now, oh fup water is hard to get through, don't stall, slip the clutch, give it welly". The clutch and starter motor were never quite the same afterwards. I guess to get through deep water like that the low box has it's use in spareing the clutch. SignatureCheers new5pam@howhill.com Dave. pam is missing e-mail >>> Strewth, no snorkel!!!!!

That wasn't the deepest ford either ... a later one was a tad deeper, came over my bonnet slightly (Disco 300 Tdi), but no problems with the standard air intake. I reckon Landrover spec. 18" to stop muppets going deeper at speed and really causing them grief. I'd guess the depth was nearer 32" as my tyres are nominally 31" diameter and they were fully submerged. ;) SignaturePaul - xxx >>>> Strewth, no snorkel!!!!!

Thus the maximum wading depth without fitting the wading plug to stop the clutch filling with water?

I've been deep in a tractor before, like 4' deep, but never really deep in the Disco. Well chuffed with how it went. Mind, if Nige doesn't get his snorkel fitted soon, I'n gonna steal it off him ... ;) SignaturePaul - xxx > I'd forgotten where the intake was on the 110 until after we had done > them. > > Ok ok We're Muppets with a big shopping list! :-) > > Certainly reinstills confidence in what a diesel can do :-) Hmmmm ... I had a good weekend too, and went wading on the Billing course in my 4.6 V8. Got through (pic on the way in ... http://members.mud-club.com/profiles/Evilgoat/gallery/Billingbash1/23/67da305192 bceea2e966d0a70d974896.JPG/ ) (close up of new gfx on bonnet! http://members.mud-club.com/profiles/Evilgoat/gallery/Billingbash1/23/934ec9ca18 f1af536c0684859bb4de81.JPG/ ) Anyway ... got through with no problems, big hole at end drops bonnet under. Of course muppet here (me) has a snorkel, but it's no bloody use if you forget to put the FRONT OF BLOODY AIRBOX on!!! Just proves that a bow wave does a mean job of keeping water at bay :) Vehicle behind me - 300tdi with no snorkel - didn't do so well, dropped into hole and drank the lake. Spent an hour stripping injectors and glow plugs, span it over, got water out. Ran the rest of the day with no problems - eventually died of a failed head gasket on the way home (doh!).
