Well more my failure to connect a breather to the new motor. The silty water it sucked in destroyed the bottom end no oil pressure failed turbo etc. expensive mistake on my part. On the plus side I can do a turbo and manifold change in a hour and a half now.

Yeah I never realised how bad it was till I started getting wet feet. Didn't seem to be any sort of a bottom to it.
The belt destroyed itself on mine so went with a bang takin the top end with it. Fortunately I have a garage full of spares, seems to be necessary when owning a landy

Not sure if anyone on here has seen this but here is a link to a video taken at Yarwell Quarry on Sunday after someone tried to drive a Daihatsu four track through 7ft of water: fishing at Yarwell Quarry - YouTube

A Unimog was sent after it but itself flooded the engine, took 6 hours and a tractor to get out: Unimog at Yarwell Dec 2012 - YouTube A real shame!
