I'm sensing there may be a little water involved in this excursion....
Any tips for helping the Alternator not go bang fizz? is it worth giving it a squirt of WD40 the night before?
Mine "went" at Avalanche last year, but that was very sticky water...

Electric motors and water have never been best of friends, regardless!
Not done much water crossing, so just wondered if there were any precautions we can take, other than dosconnection and zip tying it up in a plaggy bag!"B.A." Baracus: "Talk to me, talk sense so I can talk back. Not all this jibberjabber like breaking the peace and all that."

WD40 and lots of it sounds like a plan. thanks for thinking ahead, might have to spend a few days spraying and prepping.

TBH i would avoid deep water at the moment ..... the water has a lot of mud in suspension which will set like concrete in the Rad causing overheating .' You've arrived on a rather special night. It's one of the master's affairs.'
