i would be scared of both if i'm honest
take water up to the bottom of the sill when i open the door, wouldn't go any deeper than that
been there done that in destroying an engine through water ingress
made me nervous just watching them go into the deep water
was waiting for the clunk, one engine locked
701mm.................................KABOOM!!!!!!!!!
Cheers
they say more with a bow wave
i wouldn't risk it
water up to the sill and that's deep enough for me
wouldnt bother fitting a snorkel, as most of them are useless anyway in keeping water out
the air inlet is up quite high enough already and wouldnt dare push it that far
not worth it, in risking the engine

You say that, I suspect the first bit of deep water, and you will be in it like a 2 year old in paddington wellies....
Does the D3 have wading plugs?

Agree 100% - that'd be way far enough for me as well !

i've had my wading days , having water up and over the bonnet and also done a few engines in as well , so steer clear of water that will damage my landy
agree in my younger years i loved driving through water but then realise and learn real quick of it's dangers, inc what u can't see below the surface
always on the side of caution, so when i open the door if it's up the the door sill then that's deep enough and won't go any further
it already has all extended and raised breathers, on the diff, gearbox etc
just have that rule , up to the sills and that's it, no further ,
think that's deep enough, as u end up in a world of pain in having to rectify the possible damage
that isnt laning, that is just churning up mud.
hope those motors are getting a good wash afterwards - that **** rots steel like mad

there useto be one course many years ago near brands hatch that was brilliant
they had all different obstacles , really putting the traction and articulation to work
really enjoyed it
If thats on the north west extremities of the CCDA....then its out of bounds..

I was half expecting to see a tracked vehicle turn up to pull that Disco out of the mud.
They would have crushed it. The MoD is known for it if off piste.
didn't they actually do that a good few years ago
where some people thought it would be funny to leave there cars on the plain, so the army used a tank and blew them up
this was some 20 x years ago, how true it i don't know
however it wouldn't suprise me
imagine these days it would be very difficult to stray onto mod land without being challenged extremely quickly by the mps
