Probably been covered to death but I just spent 5 minutes wandering through the search to no avail...

I've got a 95 3.9 Disco and wondering what's involved in making it water capable or whether I should just miss the wet sections?

Thanks,


Rus.

I would think if you stayed within the LR recommended wading depth of 0.5metre you would be OK, but above that additional precautions such as a plastic over the rad grill and remove your CD-autochanger if fitted.
We assume you have done your best to seal the electrics and ignition system under the bonnet

Do a search - type in "swim" in the search this forum box. Plenty info available.

As yet, I haven't done anything as I haven't had call to hit any water. Just wondering if it's worth starting to do it or just avoid water as noticed most of the wiring under the bonnet has gaps between it's protective sheathing and the connecter at pretty much every point!

No auto changer...apparently I have a relatively unusual v8 Disco...

Searching under the wrong thing...I tried wading...not swim...:doh:

mak sure you dont pressurize the dizzy too much or you will blow your sealing, i have fitted a feed from my compressor and then another line to breathe it.
