studmuffin Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Flipping heck -What`s occurring?? The new Discovery Sport( Freelander) is being launched with a wading depth of 600mm ( 24" ).!!!!! This is making my standard Defender looking a wee bit wimpish!! I am trying to embrace all the new green oval vehicles as part of the team but WTF!!! Thinking - snorkel/lift kit/ anything else???????? Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Just modern sealing all round, that's all. The replacement Defender (if they actually make one instead of another Freelander clone....) will have at least the same rating, likely much more. I waded a 1987 Range Rover pretty seriously and it was far more up to it than a standard Defender. Transmission seals/breathers, insulated/corrosion-resistant electrics, proper door seals and effective grommets on the body shell. That was all hard to do in 1948, when the Defender's family line started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 That's probably 24" in the same way that a Discovery 3/4 has got "better ground clearance than a Defender".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 So, if you put it in super extended? I've seen a D4 go through ruts everything else in the group bottomed out on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
