Can I tag along from Braintree? I've not got a snorkel so if Violet's too deep I may have to meet you at the other end. I can do Saturday.
hello all
i was passenger in the discovery going through vilots that sunk !!!! we just lost traction come to a hault and before we new it the car was filling up with unburnt dev smoke not nice to we climbed out the windows sat on the doors why a mate climbed across the roof to get the strap and as this was happening the glovebox was submerged we got pulled out i me and matt got out and it was waist height good nite though

Did the disco come out unscathed apart from a soggy interior.
I know whats going to happen, my alternator will pack up, and ECU probably. But bollox let me know what day.
Dan you can get in with me, eat plenty of pies, i think we will need weighing down so we don't float away, if tuskens vid is anything to go by.
well as we were pulled backwards the osf door opened and the pressure of the water broke the hinge and bent the door a bit but apart from that
tip for you all thought keep LEFT !!!
Where is your ECU? Pull out as much of the loom as you can and lift it as high as possible, a few inches may save alot of hassle. A bag and some tape wont hurt.
I'm hoping the rust in my boot doesn't let in too much water! thats if it runs ok, fingers crossed...
How modified was the disco? I have got a decent suspension setup which allows lots of droop, I'm hoping I can maintain a bit of traction when im 'floating', those pictures didn't look too great!
Its under the drivers seat and no slack on the loom.

Was thinking geof could you not seal the ecu in a heavy duty bag sealed with a cable tie and some silicone so could be removed after, or even could the cable be pulled back from under the seat and moved higher up in somewhere like the dashboard once again sealed in a bag?
Do ecu's create any heat, is it ok to seal them? Don't know myself,just a thought.
I think mhm makes them on here Geoff, but in saying that I think you knew that anyway.
