As long as the vent pipe is pointing down, the bore is so small that ambient pressure trapped inside the battery vessel would most likely preclude the ingress of H2o into the compartment.

I think there is a competition to be had here.
How deep into water can your engine run before being wrecked.............. Anyone?

I was thinking more about both terminals being under water and potentially shorting?

No they won't short pal because the voltage isn't high enough!
The engine won't be under for that long in theory, the plan is to lower the car in using another 4x4 so that we don't have to open a door or anything, to minimise the amount of water that gets inside!

Hang on, you're not opening the door as it will let water in!

Just to slow down the ingress of water Ian!! Don't really want to submerge my new heater and switch panel etc!!
It will be a YouTube smash if I can get video evidence of a land rover v8 running underwater!!

Which kinda brings me onto the fact that I need a body of water.
Must be fresh.
Must be clear!
Must have a decent angle of entry so that the front end is much deeper than the doors etc.
Must be local enough to me.
Any ideas??

Have you got a marina near you? Boat ramp would fit the bill i guess.

I'm thinking boat ramp/slipway yes but don't have much water nearby!!
Yeah the plan is to lower it in USING another vehicle so we can pull it straight out again if it goes wrong!!
And thankyou, SJF

How about Sale water park?
It is probably less than 30 minutes from you even in traffic!
I used to live between Stretford and Chorlton so know the area well.
