Why would they? It's pointless, P38's don't like water with the BECM and other ECU's under the seats, the unprotected height sensor connectors etc etc.
It's an excellent 4x4 but not a good boat.
as long as you dont go through any big puddles or floods
The recommended wading height is clearly marked on them. Some people think the little webs in the tyres are wear indicators. But on a P38 they are wading height indicators.
i know with the pajeros used to cover electrics with vasaline to prevent water getting in at them but with p38s no so sure as they seem to have a mind of there own
20 inches is absolute max recommended with precautions. So basically if ducks can walk across the water it's ok, if they float it's to deep.

Believe me water enters intake much faster than it goes to the BECM. I've been in water with the P38 enough to know.
Good seals, silicone on the door bottom holes near the lamps.
No problem at all with height sensor but i desactivate EAS everytime i cross water.
Only problem i have i the headlights that do not like water.

sorry for the ignorance but is that you de-activate the eas when you cross waterBelieve me water enters intake much faster than it goes to the BECM. I've been in water with the P38 enough to know.

But if the system goes to change heights/re-level and cos you have shut off the valves the vehicle doesn't respond - it will fault...could you not just install a set of by pass valves with a shut off attached then when off road you could close them and it wouldnt drop
Removing the Timer Relay will freeze the system, effectively doing as you say, only the system won't fault on you!
