    Preparing for wading

    OK guys, what do you need to set up the disco for wadding. So far this is on my list:

    Snorkel
    Diff Breathers
    Diff guards (for unseen rocks)
    Bash plates (for unseen rocks)

    Anything else I should consider? What brands are the best?

    Carlos

    PS: Ill be asking a lot of 'simple' questions so please bear with me

    I always carry a tarp for the deep crossings and a snatch strap already connected just in case

    mmm yeah don't forget the wading plugs. I did and this is what happened to the inside of my timing cover. The belt cam snapped when the tensioner and pullys ceased with mud and crap

    should be one already there sat next to the hole.
    Look under the front of the engine look for the hole and there should be bolt next to it. This is the storage place for the bolt

    OK, so from what I understand and have read so far (here and other forums) I need for my Automatic Tdi is:

    a) Elongate the stock axle breather hoses front and back (and fit a filter at the end)
    b) Check to make sure I have a wading plug for the timing cover and fit before submerging

    I have read in the Land Rover manual that there are no plugs for the auto gearbox as its a fully sealed unit.

    As for the snorkel, does the original air box get replaced because mine has a few holes on the base to let out solids such as sand etc etc, so naturally this would be a problem under water!! Also, the snorkel installs on the side, and currently the air box inlet hole is pointing towards the front.
