I am planning on going to Packwood off road centre on Sunday for the 4x4 fun day, tank guard and sump guard not yet fitted so will be even more careful, anyone else planning on attending ? Mark.

Been there many times in the D3.

If no underbody protection fitted yet, best stick to the perimeter roads.
Or walk any other sections beforehand ... you don't want to be ripping your fuel tank off.

Enjoy  FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

how this happened to the old defender while FL2 could wade through the lake without trouble ?

I bought the 90 and snorkel was already fitted,the night before going to the play day I had checked all the connection joints and all where OK,so confidently drove in to the water, 2\3 way across and missfire occurred and then stop......after been dragged out by a disco I investigated and found one way drain valve from lower of cylindrical air filter had not been refitted cue left it there hired trailer 2 days later, had to winch on to trailer by hand and then dragged it home behind my disco,no 4 conrod was z shape and so £400 later sorted on drive and cleaned out lol.

I am planning to go to the 4x 4 play day this Sunday at park wood off road centre providing rain doesn't stop play, any one else going?

I was there that day, and I was infact the first FL2 to drive through, just before Alex in the clip you showed, at about 2/3 of a way across my FL2 started to lose traction due to it floating little.

I advised Alex not to cross as it wasn't worth the risk, but he was caught up in the moment and went any way
