LOL I got water inside the engine of that disco before the snorkel was fitted - it stopped - as they do - so I removed all the intercooler pipes and my glow plugs and turned the engine over to squirt the water out (went about 20 ft!) and hey presto he worked ok afterwards - Lucky - Very lucky!

You were bloody lucky, i drove through about 4 foot of standing water, with a snorkel, but it still managed to suck some water through a loose fitting on the air intake resulting in a bent con rod i wasnt about to stop in the middle of the lake so i carried on going, trouble is i started to float and was loosing grip so it started to get slower and slower until in the end it stopped, then the engine stopped no more deep water for me some of my Previous cars
