  • The Ford flooded once again in Kenilworth after heavy overnight rain and melting snow. Not too many vehicles went through but one elderly driver did try and got stuck and had to be rescued by the Emergency Services.

    I was laughing my head off when it cut out and he was stuck but then saw it was a confused looking old boy who needed help just to get out the car and felt bad for him!!

    Once half a cup of water gets through the air filter it’s all over, bent con-rods rebuilt engine. If he was lucky it just shorted the electrics. People don’t realise the engine air intake is right behind the grill on most vehicles.

      Simply liability reasons, if they touch the car, he could say they caused damage etc. If they get him out, he is safe and the specialists in recovery with necessary insurance are taking care of their part.
