How far have you driven since going through the deep water?

Probably 10 miles or so, mixed driving.

Did you stop and rev the engine when you came out of the water to clear the exhaust?

Quick update on this; it was nothing to do with the wading.
The noise was like the diesel knock you'd associate with an old diesel, over time it got worse and worse - most apparent when slowing to a halt at a give way & low speeds. It was ultimately traced to the alternator pulley/bracket, this was replaced along with the alternator, (3rd one now) and cured it. (So the noise was most likely a dying bearing on the idler pulley). We're now a few months on from this and I swear I just heard a snippet of the rattle again! Will see how it develops. Mad really, the cars literally just about to hit 30,000miles - not like it's been to the moon and back! |
