Hello All,
Please be gentle on me......I have a question for all of you hardened LR veterans.
I was watching several LR club videos on Youtube for the FL area and noticed these guys going through some pretty deep water at least hood level.
I recently went to the car wash and used a pressure washer on exterior only. I never sprayed the engine with water, when it was time to pull away my D1 started to back fire and constant ticking coming from under the passenger dash area. My check engine light was flashing with the ticking sound on and off.
I kept throttling the engine up and down to try to keep it running - eventually it shut down. I waited a few minutes and tried several times, it finally started - I kept the rpm up for a couple of minutes and it has run perfect since.
I dont have a cover on my ECU ( I ordered one from WILL Tillery this week), what else can you think of that I need to do to get this D1 ready to keep up with the LR club if I go out with them and face a water crossing that deep?
If it cant take a little spray from a closed hood with a pressure washer - I doubt it can handle any substantial puddles or water splashing underneath.
I know I need a snorkel - but what other tips or hacks can I do to help mitigate any water intrusion that will leave me "stuck like chuck" out with the club. I dont want to be out with my kiddos stuck because I did not prepare correctly.
Thanks as always,
Mike
