A few weeks ago after a really wet rainy day and wading through some water, (less than a foot deep) I got a few faults. After some diagnostics, found that the ECU was all wet. Took it out, opened it dried it well, and all was well and good. Sealed the wiring loom going into the ECU with silicone, and thought that would be that.
A few days passed and it was raining again (btw ... I'm from Malta ... it doesn't rain too often here), splashed (fast) through a few puddles ... and found a water again near the ECU. No engine faults, but it was such a small puddle I went through that its worrying that water still made it on. Sealed a joint under the middle seat, and thought that would do the trick. However, few days a few puddles later ... some more water was found near the ECU. So leak is still not fixed
Checked the grommets and they seem to be fine, spraying them with water directly doesn't result in water near the ECU...but water is obviously leaking from somewhere. Need to find where its coming from since 1) its embarassing to have a Defender and having to slow down for puddles though right now that is what I have to do and 2) don't want to bugger the ECU or have to limp home again.
Any ideas on how to solve the leaks please? Would appreciate some details on what could be wrong, and what can be done to fix the leak.
