freelander snorkel?!?

I dont need one my any means.. 2 ft is the deepest i waded through and it done it fine.. I was just out and about yesterday and an X plate hippo went past me with one.. Totally standard, but had a snorkel.. Got to be honest it looked excellent.

I didnt realise it was v6 only though.. Never mind

If they brought one out for an L series or Td4 im sure plenty of people would want one??

Yer best to keep to low water only. You'll only break it. That goes for any car. :eek:

Fitting a snorkel on the engine and breathers on the auto/manual gearbox, IRD and rear diff are good ideas. But don’t forget it’s the sand/clay/silt in the water that causes most of the damage. Bearings and oil seals have all suffered on mine when going through water. Air con compressor clutch bearing and drive shaft oil seal both went. Hence why I don’t go through the deep stuff.

Yep seems to me it would only really help with filtering out dust and crap from the air, not sure I'd trust a totally immersed K series engine or any of the other IMHO. But it would look badass :).
 
petrols dunt like getting too wet:eek:


with all the electrickery in the Freebie i'll be staying within the LR wading limit :)
 
My k has been submerged! It's the plug top coil version and I've sealed the top cover on, it was a bit of trial and error but now I can get it as wet as I like and it keeps going, rather than spluttering to a stop:D yes I know it's not the thing to do, but its a toy not my only vehicle if it breaks I fix it! Mud gets in everything and I do tend to avoid too much cos it screws up the alternator amongst other things. So a snorkel for me would serve a purpose!

Scary int it:D
Mine was a pig till I water proofed it, playing in big puddles would have it spluttering!

best one were...i went thorugh a giant puddle with her in it but went in too fast and it shot up inside the engine compartment.

only thing that happened was the revs went up to 3.5k for a mile and a half.
then it dried out and all was well.

I've filled me spark plug holes with muddy water before, dry it out and it still misses! Shorts down the dried mud! Pressure washed down the plug holes before to clean em out! Not an issue now
