    Puma fuse box - not sealed

    Evening, after a couple of crossings at 800mm I noticed some water in the fuse box under the drivers seat. Has anybody gone through the process of sealing the box? Or is there a tech note about doing so.
    Also diff, transfer and gearbox breather kits - is there a good one around? I donot want to keep changing the oils after deep crossings and small bore irrigation pipe seems a bit light ?

    FYI the "Puma" 500mm wading depth is set by the throttle position sensor. From what I gather getting the accelerator wet is bad.

    Cheers,

    Have a look at the Mulgo ex-box. It'll place the electrics on top of the transmission tunnel.
    Also the sensor is on top of the accel pedal, if that gets wet you really are in a little deep.

    Scrubby creek this year. Water over the bonnet. Yet with Nuggets Breather kit,snorkel waterproofing and mulgo's ex-box I felt a lot more comfortable......mind you I only really felt comfortable when we were dry on the other side!

    I've sat in my defender as the mud and the water filled up the floor, over my boots, up over the edge of the seat box.....

    Not a pleasant feeling!!!!!

    Use this stuff [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFPM6LxnhlA[/ame] on ECUs, fuseboxes, sensors and plugs and they'll work even under water too for a decent time

    Second Nuggets Snorkel Kit. As for the Ex-box, great idea but beware this too will push water through the grommits. I ended up with water in mine after crossing Nolan's Brook on the telegraph track...

    Thanks,
    Now that is a bit of concern. If the throttle sensor was to get 'wet' which on this occasion it did not would the computers go into limp home mode ?
