got a 2" lift and 15" wheels with MT tyres. its a 1.8 k series with no snorkel. feck knows how i made it through, the marshal said i would be ok going through if i took it easy and he said it wasn't deep. lying git!. the day after i did the course again but bypassed the mud run only to see a standard tdi disco emerge from the water with clouds of white exhaust smoke and a cylinder or 2 missing, so think i was pretty lucky getting through. as for the rest of the course i had no probs at all.
werent Pikey doing some marshalling there?

heres a couple more. my engine bay ended up the same colour as the front bumper and it took me 2 1/2 hours with a pressure washer to clean it this morning and then another 1/2 hour to clean the drive. there was also a couple of hills on the course that a disco and a 90 took 2 attempts to get up but i got up them first time so i'm well impressed with the hippo's off road abillity.who needs a low box . traction control and hdc are just as good.

10/10 for style, looks like you had a corking bow wave going which probably accounts for getting through. well impressive.

cheers.i was lucky though, the tide mark under the bonnet is touching the bottom of the air intake. i hope the guy who i saw on sunday from the kent land rover club in his 3 cylinder tdi disco got home ok. he sounded well ruff as he came out the mud run and was chucking out more smoke than the flying scotsman on full throttle.

it took me 2 1/2 hours with a pressure washer to clean it this morning
Thats how long it normally takes me to clean the mud out of my radiator AFTER washing the outside of my landy.
