I've been thinking about this, because I really haven't had a problem with this with my past rovers. Maybe it's partially due to those two new 'air deflectors' or whatever they are down on the lower front fascia? I could see how those would help plow up water and throw it over the hood. Maybe try taking those off?
I haven't yet seen deep water with the LR4, so haven't experienced any differences yet.
I took those deflectors off within a month of owning my LR4. One was already halfway torn off from wheeling in the sand dunes. No clue *** they are for in the first place, but I see them on many different brand / model trucks. (Air deflection / MPG?) They just serve as a cheap plastic overhang to be destroyed when off road.
I think the splash issue is a matter of speed and the fact the front wheels are so far forward (Great for off-road approach angles). Any other vehicle, the water would push forward and up and simply hit the front underside of the vehicle.
