Water and mud can get in the cut out in the clutch housing where the ckp sensor is just under the exhaust manifold. Can it be sealed?

would that cut bring some problems if it gets mud and water?

Thanks,!

Not sure if this is worth the worry,

I have extended the rear diff breather into e cab, just below the Rear seats ( or a least where they were), replaced factory ducting to the snorkel, that's :) it.

Done the Creb and OTL in the last 3 weeks, many of the creeks saw water above the bonnet, no issues. Have had gear box, TC, diff oil's checked - no water what so ever.

Since done 2500k's without a prob.

Concentrate on thn known issues. Install Mulgo's Xbox, extend rear diff breather, seal snorkel ducting to the air box and you will be good as gold.

Cheers I think the worry is water getting into the clutch bellhousing with the potenetional to damage the clutch and not escaping and the possibe? failure of that sensor.

I think that there would be incidents of failure at least starting to be reported/repaired. I can't recall any threads on here or Defender2 on the subject.

I would have thought since the PUMA released in 2007 there should be some issues.

Don't loose any sleep over it:)
