So people add a snorkel and think it turns into a submarine. Maybe?

Oh dear!
I was thinking about fitting a snorkel, but even that wouldn’t help here...
The off road capability of the Discovery surprised me, but there’s no chance I’d risk that.
Plus 1 , also won’t risk it , hydrolocked an engine in my old series 3 , so now if I’m in any doubts I’ll turn around
Deepest I’ll ever go is to the bottom of the doors, also don’t know if any manhole cover has come up etc

So timid in it never stood a chance, especially being a Russian Car - it probably was previously repaired here -
