I will tell you what happened first so you can get an idea.
Firstly i put a snorkel on my 1999 defender 90 300 yesterday and I did not put silicone on any parts of the inside piping apart from the first entry in the wing :doh: I didn't realise, I know its my fault, I just want to sort the problems now.
I drove into deep water and got stuck, the LR was running for about 10 mins, then when I tried to reverse as being pulled it lost power and cut out. It was then stuck for a further 20-30 mins not running. I was being winched out of the 'Hell hole' at Parkwood 4x4 - this didnt work so we disconnected the air filter, it started and I reversed out, there was a hissing noise coming from the underneath and the power was down. We then took the air filter out and I drove a further 200 yards it then completely lost power and cut out.
It was towed up the top we disconected the intercooler pipe and put jump leads on it started, and smoke was coming out from all over the exhaust, we then found a hole had blew through the exhuast. We then loosened the glow plugs and turned it over a few times, water came out but not loads. The ignition turns and lights come on, but it does that slow turnover sound and doesnt want to start.
I know you would need to see the land rover to be able to tell, but any advice would be good
Thanks
