Thread: Waterproofing Front Vents/Battery Compartment

I had the computer sealed on my TD5 for years using some type of goo sticky sealant (Unoffical LR repairs guys did it) and we had a small vent pipe coming out the side up the door pillar, I have heard of one guy had a airpump wired in and would turn it on to "pressurise" the sealed compartment also, We realised it would never be totally sealed but would give just enough time it stuck to be towed out before water got in, I never had a problem in 8 years and did some serious stuff like over bonnet on river trips etc lots of times

On the vents, make sure it is where the water is coming in - my experience is they get blamed for other leaks, in my case, the hinge/bracket that holds the windscreen frame to the bulkhead.
