I reckon zorsts shud be snorkeled so u can stall in a water trap and still satrt it again to get out, cos i was tought never to restar it as the initial suck of the engine why cause a hydrosomefink fingeymebob and the engine will cease up. So that'd be a good idea me finks. I really cant get over the angles of the tyres at times, if my wheels done that in me essie it'd be bye bye wishbones, putwang

Yeah, the engine would hydraulic (suck water into the pistons). I think it's coz when you first start an engine it pulls air in from the exhaust valves, but if there's water the other side of them then you end up with a dribble in your cylinders. Raised air intakes however are a necessity for serious off roaders. I fu**ed up the first diesel engine coz the alternator fan splashed water into the induction kit. It hydraulic'd and eventually stalled. Got towed outta the puddle and onto the top field where I removed the heater plugs, cranked the starter motor, filled the cylinders with wd40, cranked it again, threw the plugs back on and it fired straight back up again! Smoked a bit since though, and woulda cost more than the engine was worth to fix it, so installed engine no.3 Here's a couple of pics: Never gonna make that mistake again
