Why would they? It's pointless, P38's don't like water with the BECM and other ECU's under the seats, the unprotected height sensor connectors etc etc.

there must be a way of waterproofing the sensors if not then its pretty much useless as a 4x4

It's an excellent 4x4 but not a good boat.

The recommended wading height is clearly marked on them. Some people think the little webs in the tyres are wear indicators. But on a P38 they are wading height indicators.

i know with the pajeros used to cover electrics with vasaline to prevent water getting in at them but with p38s no so sure as they seem to have a mind of there own

20 inches is absolute max recommended with precautions. So basically if ducks can walk across the water it's ok, if they float it's to deep.

Believe me water enters intake much faster than it goes to the BECM. I've been in water with the P38 enough to know.
Good seals, silicone on the door bottom holes near the lamps.
No problem at all with height sensor but i desactivate EAS everytime i cross water.
Only problem i have i the headlights that do not like water.

I desactivate the EAS by removing the relay under my seat. No time for a switch mod but that's coming...
I watched videos where EAS goes on the bumpstops in the middle of the water. No good at all...

could you not just install a set of by pass valves with a shut off attached then when off road you could close them and it wouldnt drop

But if the system goes to change heights/re-level and cos you have shut off the valves the vehicle doesn't respond - it will fault...could you not just install a set of by pass valves with a shut off attached then when off road you could close them and it wouldnt drop
Removing the Timer Relay will freeze the system, effectively doing as you say, only the system won't fault on you!
