    You had better get a V8.
    They are quite good on water crossings if maintained properly.

    Hi Dave,
    It is seriously looking that way. The mud I drove through was a soupy texture and obviously very salty as it was in a salt pan.
    The question is can I trust it again? Will I be ok on a Cape york trip or will I end being crocodile poo when I abandon a stalled vehicle and have to swim???
    This has really rattled me.
    Cheers Wayne

    cut the harness leg out and slpice in a new one, replace the sender and while its out have someone bar the engine over very slowly so you can inspect the toning area of the fly wheel. if its dirty, clean it carefully by swabbing and vaccing then replace the sender.


    geting a nanocom or diag read out will let you know if you have a persistant crank sender problem. BUT make sure that you do it as a live clear with the engine running as its one of the fab 5 that usually turn up when you're staring the engine.
