We all know that you have to be mad to drive a zuke, and experiences
at PaynPlay days in this country certainly reinforces the point....

Should have quit while he was ahead! Very brave, or stupid, or both.

Excessively so, in the circumstances! Opening a door might have
helped a bit, not something you need to do in a landy ;-)

On a Vitara the distributor is at the back of the head by the bulkhead,
30 second job to run the breather into the cab, amost waterproof out of
the box.

You would have thought he would have learned his lesson first time round
when he went floating off down the river !

Mined ewe last time I floated a Suzuki all the rubber bungs in the floor
burst out, I sank a few inches or so and carried on driving once the
wheels hit the deck.

Not sure the Range Rover will ever float, or stay running within site of
water for that matter !

impressive waterproofing, and he did in fact get across. Mind you, I'd have
settled for that.

pity the video stopped when it did, though - looked like it was about to be
flipped over.
