Submariners do Salisbury

its gettin worse the more i clean it up....... well i is making more holes than i wud like .

"Mein gott in himmel"
I knew there was a good reason to have no carpets in a Landy.
Byt the way the ones in the Dento are in good nick and don't smell.... the carpets that is. The footwell doesn't smell either

Due to winch failure when daft needed it most I spent yesterday stripping and rebuilding my winch. It is now back in working order minus the wireles remote. My so called waterproof bridged solonoid housing contained around half an inch of Salisburys finest mud. The bridge of the solonoid housing although metal and sealed does not have any gaskets so all surfaces are metal to metal and therefore leak. I am gonna seal all joints with silicone tomorrow.

I havent checked mine since Salisbury either !

Is your solonoid casing sealed or open bottomed?

Cos mine is sealed the water pressure pushes in through the tiny gaps when wading. It then drains back out leaving the mud/silt behind until the housing is full. My wireless remote casing also in the bridge was filled to the brim with soggy mud and is what was causing the problem. It is now deceased. I am hoping it'll work once it has dried out. There isn't a spec of mud anywhere now but if I don't seal it properly I will have the same problem again. I just can't believe they sell it as 'waterproof' with no gaskets or seals whatsoever.

Aye just you wait until i get me Capstan working.
None of your crappy electronics switches to go wrong.
