Had to go check on the cows for Karis yesterday becasue the road was a bit flooded :lol:

However I now have a strange noise coming from my engine that I need to investigate, not sure what it is but it sounds rough! dont think i took on any water though as my air filter was still dry after the wading

Haha gotta love driving thru lakes that used to be roads! It's a bit on the damp side here in Dorset too so after I've done my door handle (won't be long Scottie), and my uprated alternator, fitted the new roof.... I will get there.. honestly :thumbup:

Then it'll be snorkel time!

I'm in southampton at the moment. But im hoping all the water im hearing about on the radio is still in the north east when i get home. It'll be great. I'll be the only motor on the road.

When I went out to mine at 5 in the morning today the drivers footwell had an inch of water in it. I really need to get that leak found and plugged because that was only 3 days that took.

I leave the bung out when I'm not in the zuki and put it back in when I'm driving so I don't get a draught up me leg :lol: and so the sj doesn't fill up as quick when wading. if I was in eds scenario with carpets in and didn't really take the sj offroad I'd leave it permanently out if I had a leak.
