A couple of my mates and I replaced the clutch in my '89 SWB Saf with a 4Terrain heavy duty beast a few weeks ago. Got a warrant and gave her a good service.
Took her out over Red Rocks as a tester on the day before XMas, ran really well and was proper stoked with the clutch. Silky smooth after some tinkering.
Cruised up to the Mungatuks at the weekend to do a few hill climbs and give the clutch a workout.
I went through a relatively small puddle (around a metre or so deep and 7 - 10 metres long). As I got about half way through and she stalled for the first time ever
I read the whole story about Skid's submarine, learned a valuable lesson and was planning on getting a snorkel as soon as the next paycheck came through in Jan.
Anyway, I opened up the air filter and yep, you guessed it... bloody wet
1 x conrod through the the block later now she's going to be parked up in the garage till I can find a cheap-ish running TD42 (T preferable).Massive thanks to Chris and Phil who towed me out and got me to the Mobil station so I could get my sorry ass towed back home.
I now know exactly how Skid felt. Huge condolences.
Had a look on TM and found a petrol 4.2 but I'd prefer to go for a TD42T.
Does anyone have one for sale?
Any ideas where I may be able to find one?
Cheers
Dave
