My photos are now up here:

There a hundred odd, I'm going to slowly transfer the Freelander related photos into my gallery here to save space on DISCO3, I'm already bouncing off my memory limit in that gallery.

Looking foward to the next event, we're planning to collect our Freelander 1 this summer so will hopefully have it with us  "CY from DISCO3"

I know this is a dumb question the photos of the disco going through the water how does the water not go into the vehicle do you have to have any mods done or is it just the door seals that are doing the job, sorry must be a woman thing


Great photos by the way.

It's because of the door seals - same for the FL2s when we went through.

Not cheap but I have found that Mantec do sump and tank guards for the FL2

Maybe a group buy to get a discount?

Certainly helped me in my current thinking

I seem to recall the mantec protection for the fuel tank but like you say its expensive,

If i was in your position i would get them both and develop a snorkel too Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

All the doors are double sealed. So even if the water manages to penetrate the first tight seal then there is a secondary back-up which pretty much prevents any water entering the vehicle. I think the only concern would be the air vents but you'd have to be pretty deep to worry about that. The engine, ECU and electronics is what is most at risk. A sealed snorkel is helps protect the engine but the electronics are still exposed.

The same applies to the Freelander 2. You'll see these vehicles up to their window-lines in water without issue or problem.

Have a look at this video - no water got into the vehicle here and this was well over the bonnet and up to windscreen level.

The FL2 might not survive that depth ... the air intake is behind the nearside headlamp ... gulp !

I can't wait to see the G4 Freelander 2.

Not only will it have the TD4 engine but it'll be completely off-road prepared. If it's geared up anything like how they did the Fl1 then it will have a snorkel and all the protection. "CY from DISCO3"

I think it will look great too, and then all the G4 toys may become available I hope  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

On the actual tape you can hear me saying to Alex, "Ooo It looks a little deep for my car" only to drive through it later  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
