for some reason if i drive through a big bit of standing water my bravo decides that is has no fuel and will die. the engine light comes on and i've had it tested before and comes up as the primary circuit relay on the fuel pump... but had it 'fixed' a couple of times and they've never been able to fix it... as it only does it if i go through a lot of standing water im assuming there's a bare connection somewhere that's shorting when it gets water in it... but everytime i've taken it to a garage they've charged me a lot of money for absolutely nothing... any ideas lads?

My B1 was practically amphibious. She'd plough through anything I pointed her at.

I've not been too ambotious with the B2 with regards to puddles.......yet.

took her out about midday today, topped her up with some fuel and she's right as rain again... just had to dry out a bit. just go nice and slow through any water! think the only way to really sort it is to get the whole fuel pump circuit rewired... but can't be bothered with the expense tbh
