I keep seeing cheap bonnets pop up on the bay and am thinking of buying a damaged one so that it can be cut to allow an RAI.

myself, mzplcg , justinp and a bunch of disco3 blokes went through some fords down nr salisbury and these must have been about 2 1/2 to 3 foot deep , enough to get a decent bow wave and we had no problems at all.. |

The wading depth on the RR is either 50cm or 70cm depending on what year you have. Anything more than this and the outside water pressure on the door seals etc will be significant and may start to ingress.

Was that to the top of the arches then or over the bonnet?

Where's the ford? I'm sure I've been through it but a long time ago - probably in 1996 in my old 300TDi Disco'. Trouble is, I can't remember where it is!! |

Any idea what they changed to increase the wading height by 20cm, and what year did the change occur? ![]() Gone - Range Rover Supercharged 2006 |

Very true, thats why i was thinking of doing the home based method, some nice big soft rubber gaskets and some silicone where needed after some pressure testing... ![]() Still grille hieght on the picture looks deep enough i reckon! |

You don't need a new bonnet. The TD6 draws air through the RH side vents. The easiest would be making a blanking plate fort the side vent and running a snorkel fitted to the side (poss RRSport?). Then you'd need a tube of some sort (as Dan says, must be big enough) through the wing to the air filter intake. And you'd have to make sure all is water tight.
