Hybrid_From_Hell Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 On one of its Non Misfire moments I decided to give the EDIS MegaJolt a water test.... Stuff the bow wave and all that, I wnated to see if it would drown as a V8 normally does with a tickle of water in and around it..... A reasonable test ............. In under out and all fine..........till whatever is plaging me woke up again..... Nige Now, if I could just sort that misfire out.................

will_warne Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Nige, when the winch off happens do the long water run at Bunny Lane. That's a test of waterproofing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dew110CSW Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I wonder if that L200 behind would make it through like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Nige. Carefull with your speed into a puddle, you might find you will lose control due to aquaplaning. Your tires might loose grip on the road due to the water. Does your wife laugh at you when you attack a puddle. You know, because of that little hole in the seat box that directs water all over your legs and crotch when you do that? Or is that just my wife and Land Rover that that happens with?

white90 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Distinct lack of pics afterwards I see. the same pics of it being towed out by a trusty Diesel Out of intrest did the misfire start after this effort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Oooooooooo No The misfire has been plaguing me now on and off for a few months. The amount of effort and testing done by myself and others is beyond belief. I have a few more things to do to it yet before I sit wondering "What Else", but the list left is getting smaller and smaller.... Injector change x8 is next on the list plus some elctrical tests and swaps..... from the brains of BBC and JW This was one of its "Behaving" moments. Which sadly at the moment is geting less so But, at least at the moment with it having such a bad misfire I can do the "serachy" bit, normally when I have set aside time to diagnose it - turns key and all is well driving me mad !

reads90 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Nigel You could help it by doing what they do here in Aus. They go and buy a cheap compressoer. (sort to pump up your tyres) and then drill a hole in the dissy cap and when they are going near water they turn it on and fill the dissy with air and hence keeping the water out. Same as they do to their winches for the same reason Meet a chap the other day who had three compressors and they filled his two axles, gearbox, transfer box, Dissy and both winches with air at the flick of one switch. mmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
