Does anybody know why when I drive through puddles in my disco 2 the puddle ends up covering my windscreen, when the puddles are quite deep it throws up a hell of a lot of water. Its caught me out a few times now. Its running on standard 18" alloys with road tyres. Its really bugging the hell out of me why it does it, can anyone help ?
Does anyone know why...

Cos it has a high ride height as the water gets displaced forward of the wheel, it rises up further before it gets to bodywork and as such comes over the bonnet....
a lower car the forward displaced water hits the spolier first before it can come over the bonnet as it is only a few inches off the ground at that point whereas a Landy is 14"+....

because all disco's do it. try slowing down instead of trying to drown every fooker on the pavement. before yu aquaplane into some poor fooker.

My Defender is just the same. Major sheet of water right over the screen and roof. Probably a bit worse with the steering guard fitted.
But you is chucking a large brick at a puddle!
Like they said, slow down and give your chassis a clean

one of roads flooded in newport speed camera on lane into town so cars slow down anyway but i was approaching in the out of town lane saw flood slowed down but saw a likkle boy racer coming towards flood window down could not resist kick down black smoke and splash. It's amazing how simple things make me feel so happy.
