ok, so i kno this has probably been covered before, but stuffed if i can find it! so i was driving thru a causeway the other day after all the heavy rain we have just had, there was about 10cm of water over the road and just after i got thru it, my car sorta died. i backed off and it came good again, but as soon as i put my foot down, the same thing happened. it seems fine when i just put the power on lightly, but under heavy acceleration it nearly throws me thru the windscreen. im thinkin maybe sum water got sucked up into the AFM, coz i have literally disconnected every plug to check if they were wet, but all good. sorry bout the long rant, but its really starting to annoy me and i want it sorted! if anyone has any ideas as to what has happened i would be really grateful for sum help

It kinda does sound like AFM damage, but i would have thought you'd need more than 10cm of water for it to get through the air filter.

Highly unlikely its a wet plug too . I hose my engine bay off all the time with no drama lol :)

its possible if everything not in good condition or plugged in properly. for example if a certain part of my main engine loom gets wet the car misses horribly until it dries up.....

as said check afm and make sure everythings dry

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
