Was the vehicle running when flooded, or was it all switched off?

At least it was fresh water.

If you have been following this forum for any length of time you will know how much we like the Ejoke, not.

Best try to dry it out, a gallon of unleaded should raise the temperature sufficiently.

If it was fresh water and the vehicle was not running, then careful drying and cleaning of the ECU pcb's may save some of them. If all the ECU's have failed, the car is worthless so I wouldn't waste a gallon of petrol, half a gallon would do the job.

One has to wonder how the car came to take a bath in the first place

Someone saw sense and tried to drown it?

Rick-the-Pick · Nov 28, 2018

Evoque? There's an MR2 down the road that's more of a Ferrari than an Evoque is a Range Rover.

Give the poor schlemiel a break.
He thought he was getting a real bargain.
No need to make his life worse. He already has the worst of all possible Landies.

He could always seal the sunroof and keep chickens in it.

Only if they are freshwater-chickens.

Given your size i'm sure you could also twist it into a mangled wreck with yer bare hands and toss it back to the sħitpit it deserves to live in

probably the best advice the submarine division in the land rover forum subsection snorkelling with frogman outfits. Very much similar problem with all series and defender models. But seriously though find out why it was drowned at birth. There was a load of damaged landrovers suffer on container ship that listed Southampton on a sandbank a few years back. If there rust or corrosion at any point you've got a large paper weight. Being a very new type of vehicle by Victoria Beckham range replacement parts will be beyond most novice pockets. Might be worth look as stripping for parts.

They're not that new any more. They first appeared before our disgusted eyes 7yrs ago. Parts are cheap in comparison to even the Sport, let alone FFRR, of the same vintage.
Given the location of the OP I fail to see why he would buy one from Japan or worse still try to repair one that had met with it's deserved fate.

You have maybe gathered from the reply`s so far @J.shah that this might not be the best place to ask about your car, at the risk of getting sent to coventry (or worse still blackpool) I suggest you take a look over on fullfatrr bottom of main page there is mention of a forum for your car. (and I never mentioned the name of said vehicle once, arent I good)

J.shah · Nov 29, 2018

Well well, i wasn't expecting even a single response, guess what there are tons & you guys are hilarious as hell.
I Read all the comments etc, thanks for all the fun stuff

Ive no clue how the car got into water,
Owner told the dealer that he went for fishing, xD

Anyways, guys i still wanted to know how many ECUs are in the car?
