Off you go, on another adventure... I’m sure there’s a Bushy somewhere you haven’t managed to **** off yet.
Until they wade too deep RAR. Then pre 2005 is easier to deal with (not through better quality just less systems to cause problems - like locking the CDL randomly) None are as good as a mechanical injection diesel! (Wading)
Cheers
You’re very good a putting words into people’s mouths. It doesn’t wash with me.Quote:

I don't think it's the ECU per se that the poster was referring to as problematic but the fact having an ECU means it also has a host of electronic sensors, connectors to sensors etc all able to suffer adversely in water crossings and the like.

I have waded to about 900+ mm (? something like that, tops of headlights were underwater) in my barge and I don't even have a snorkel! Having to hose all the twigs and mud from radiators later was the only consequence.Quote:

- Fair enough I don't have ABS/TC so no wheel sensors for that.
Not sure what other sensors may give problems. (Not even sure if wheel sensors or throttle pot would suffer terribly....)?
I love how you can determine the capability and appeal of the new defender based on a few artistic lines. That's a skill I've not seen before.Quote:

It also involved opening the doors at full wading depth and leaving the car to have an hour long bath, before draining the water and letting the car dry out (can't remember how long they gave it) - to pass testing it had to start and drive afterwards.
I thought that was reasonably thorough for a luxury 4wd.
