LR Defender stuck on flood

[StockEngine]

Baka pinasok na ng tubig yung transmission nya.. or defective yung tranmission talaga..

May transmission talaga na pag sira yung locking mechanism (forgot the term) eh nag pop out yun gear commonly sa 1st gear kasi yun yung gear na pinaka madalas magamit.. need mo hold in place yung kambyo para di mag pop out

Transmissons and differentials have breathers for heat management(basically protecting the seals). if the differential or transmission are hot and then exposed to cold water, they can potentially suck in water if completely submerged. water in oils can cause slipping or possibly "pop" out.

locally ARB diff breathers are being marketted recently in the 4x4 scene. unfortunately they dont know how to market it. they should have a headline that says: diff flood snorkels available from ARB.

So even with a snorkel, still not a guarantee that it can wade thru that kind of flood? Eh bakit pa nag snorkel?

Isip ko kasi kapag may snorkel, hanggang hindi lumulubog yun, walang tirik

A snorkel is not a guarantee per se, isang set dapat if you're serious about wading- kailangan imodify airbox, seal the electonics/drive train/interior and minsan relocate alternator.
Yung iba may option pa na patayin ang rad fans para di masira by forcing water. Medyo last step dapat ang snorkel kasi usually mataas naman ang stock airbox ng mga suv pero uso kasi sa pinas lagay ng snorkel pang porma lang.

feel ko din eto yung mga defender na naka sound setup/kahn interior tapos nagpanic siya when he saw water seeping through the doors, ayun na stuck.

The transfercase had an issue and popped out from low.

So since it is not a lemon, why did the transfer case pop out of low range gearing? Is it a normal occurence under such conditions? Would it have fared better if he had used normal gearing instead?

City slicker/off roading noob here. Hehe

for high water. low range gearing via transfer case is necessary to push that high water.

But wading through filthy water, what were they thinking?

It's supposed to be a Land Rover Defender ... Supposedly one of the best 4x4s on the planet ... Land Rovers are being advertised fording rivers ... going over large rocks ... going through jungles ... over mountains ... And the low gear transmission pops out? ... Because of a hump or some small obstacle? In a city road? ... To top it off, it was driven by an experienced off-roader ... an RFC official convoy sweeper ...

Now Land Rover is doing PR damage control ... Maybe a Mitsubishi, Nissan or Toyota would have gone through the flood easily ...

We're in a Land Rover Defender ... Driven by an expert ... What could possibly go wrong? ...

To add more context, wading through fresh rivers or muddy trenches in the forrest or on a well-established 4x4 track are one thing. Fording through three feet of disease-ridden sewage with the occasional sightings of floating human excrements and whatnot is totally another.

Not to judge as I’m pretty sure they have their reasons. All I’m saying is that, if it were me, the reasons had to be pretty compelling to risk being caught dead in the water (pun intended).

Too much drag as the car run deep under those flood water strained the transmission gears even a low gear (huge gear teeths) could not withstand

Neutral would have kept the engine running though. Its constant pressure (exhaust gas) should have withstood water penetrating the exhaust had he stayed calm. My guess is that the driver failed to withstood the stench of the filthy water

Moral of the story, dont be too cocky, respect the wrath of nature

Iniisip ko baka napuluputan ng sako or basura sa propeller kaya nagkaissue.

But who am I to judge, wala naman ako doon.

This.

What he did may be ill-advised, but I won't blame the car owner. From how it sounded, he had a good laugh about the whole thing and simply had his LR repaired and good to go.

True. It's such a pity they had very bad luck that day.

However, when the cameras are rolling, everything's fair game. And whatever you do or whatever the outcome of what you did can make or break you. That's the sad truth, unfortunately... the new norm. You mess up on video, you've got to be ready for a world of hurt (feelings and ego).

Suwerte pa rin sya. May pambili sya ng land rover. Tinawagan nya lang (daw) yung situation. And had his LR repaired asap.

Sa common tao, yung sasakyan pag na lubog sa baha at tinirik, either walang budget pagawa or kelangan kumuha sa ibang budget para mapagawa.

I'm guessing he has other cars to use also while the LR is being repaired.

Pero yeah, it's gonna be really bad PR for Land Rover.

But there’s post here in this thread that a group of offroaders were laughing at when I chance upon them in a 4x4 shop.

He won't be laughing when he sees the repair bill ... Simply repaired would be an understatement ...

[benchph1]

Apparently his gearbox hit an object underwater which caused it to “pop-out” of low range. He was trying to put it back in gear, but was unable to. So ayun tulak na.

I finally eliminated all my cravings for that car. nowadays, i dont even bother to click all youtube suggested videos on the land rover.

di ko alam kumbakit pero basta nawala na lang, maybe it has somethinv to do with the new sierra, its cheaper same boxy feel. suddenly yun trademark nila boxy shape car maging pang masa na ulit. Sana revive ng mitsubishi yun pajero na door noon 80s, that will definitely
Make the land rover less of a rare looking classic
