I have an old Range Rover (03 plate), petrol with an LPG conversion that guzzles fuel like it's going out of fashion with our new caravan. Add to that a gearbox that's not sounding at all well and I think it's time to change. Being a bit of a Land Rover fanboy, the choice is pretty much down...

OK. Thank you. Not been in anything too deep - don't want to get stuck on my own. I did buy a breather kit though - just waiting for it not to be wet so I can fit it Ah, excellent explanation. Thank you. I've learned that - finding it half the fun!! Thank you all, again.

I am a prat. The ford's back. Just taken the truck through it. Low ratio second (just to be safe) and it just went through. No problem. Battery light came on, but only dimly, so I guess I need to tighten it a little more. Now I just need to work out where the leak is that means my feet get...

Went out again this morning. Sadly the ford had gone and I was left with a puddle :-( I extended the drive and found a muddy ford that was in flood, but with only about 10cm water. I spent some time going backwards and forwards through it in various gears to see what the effect was.... 1L -...

OK. So I feel more than a little foolish... Sitting here red faced and grateful that not only am I being tolerated, I'm rather undeservedly being helped too. I'll try again tomorrow. Low ratio. Thanks all.

Yes, 3rd high. I think we all agree that that was completely the wrong gear to approach in. Mea culpa. Next time I'll engage the brain as well as a lower gear.

Yes, third was optimistic, I'll grant you that! Thing is, though, that it started out and finished quite shallow - by the time I got to the deep bit (not that 40cm is deep, but you know what I mean) I was already in first with my foot well down on the pedal and was doing no more than 5mph. I...

OK, that would explain the battery light - I did check belts etc. when I bought it, but I'll replace and tighten that one anyway. Would it explain the loss of power (engine, not electrical) though? Cheers for the fast response. Nick.

Thought today would be an excellent day for testing the truck (1989 110, 200TDi bought a month ago) in a little water. I found a flooded ford - total length about 40 metres, maximum depth about 40cm - reasonably safe, I thought. I entered the water in third and almost immediately started...
