Stuck at Cape York

Pepper needs protecting at all costs - one of the best.
 
No idea who the presenter is, have seen a couple of his videos before. He reminded me of the videos we had to watch at school as a very young child and then the Open University programs that used to be shown over night for people to record. These were often people with beards in white lab coats (or at least they were in the comedy sketches).
My point is that his boring/non-sensational style is refreshing for the Internet and far more useful and educational. One I watched was on the use of locking diffs and his little model cars 👍
I don't know if he is right or wrong on all his presentations but they are clear and understandable

A well thought out video. My irritation with his approach is that he is never wrong and states his opinions as facts, which they are not.
 
Some summary information from the Pepper video.

The earlier version of the Canny video showed evidence of all 4 of thoses listed "Possible Systems" before it was apparently re-edited.

The result is a catastrophic engine failure. The sump is now a parts bin, filled with parts of parts!

Having watched the vids before deletion, it always seemed like 1) someone was trying not to comment for fear of covering the cost themselves, by feigning ignorance or not being forthcoming. 2) the "shock" of it being hydro locked because it seemed fine and drove, didnt "hold water", to me (ha ha). I dont believe for a second the theory robert puts forth that that damage happened in stages. I always believed that engine sucked water and died catastrophically in the river, and seeing the pictures to me, confirms that. 3) the dry filter and lose screws seemed like an attempt to claim it didnt suck water or it was an assembly defect. essentially, from what has been shown, it appeared like a poor attempt at fraud ... but I'll add... I'm not buying no one else on the trip wasn't involved in after the fact shenanigans, if one believes points 1, 2, and 3 as I do. everything I have seen leads me to believe the truck died in the river, they extracted it, it looked like a 100% loss, someone had a stupid idea, they bought in to that dumb idea, and the world saw it.

Your results may vary, and unfortunately, I guess some of the vids are gone. I like Pepper, but in this case... Theres so much he can't say or conclude due to people obfuscating events, that I don't know why he bothered.
