The reason the Defender takes on water is using the principle of 'trim' ballast similar to a submarine. You wouldn't want your Defender to float and loose contact with the road. The Defender is designed to take on water.

I remember my dad taking me out into flood water in his big jeep. I was around 4-6 at the time and I loved it. All these people saying you are stupid to have done so are wrong, he would have been loving it. And I'd guess you would know what to do had anything gone bad, considering you are even able to drive through flood water. Many people would have gotten stuck very early on.

Well most Rovers can do things like this. Rover were built for this type of stuff. Thats why there used in the army because how reliable they are lol. even on Top Gear in Sound America, Jeromy got an old beat up £1,000 1980's Rover and it never broke down even though he plowed through trees, boulders, flood, desert heat, sand dunes and one of highest volcanoes on earth lol. Rovers are built for these things so 99% un-likely of it braking down. (unless its a rubish, show off Sport Rover)

If the cab was sealed, the vehicle would float and the tyres would not get traction. Wading is all about letting the water in so the vehicle weight sits firmly on the tyres for forward traction.As the bow wave forms a null area behind the front wheels the footwells drain under the bottom of the doors.
