The Range Rover Sport @1:40 is a great demonstration of exactly how to drive through deep water with a Land Rover. Incidentally, all the Land Rovers in this video could drive through this if driven correctly.
SVR as well
@@TomSunderland chromaflair, additionally, LOL. Only seen 2 in my entire life on video.
@@carlospriale5451 loads around here 😂😂
You are right, but it is more fun going fast
@@frontleverguy2216 yeah but the water underneath the car is gonna slap the shit out of it and most probably damage it 😖
1:40 did it perfectly. The key is not speed in fact the opposite. You want to build that wave in front so the grill rides below the crest of the wave.
Correct! But also a key note is that on a bunch of land rovers the air intake is not in the front. On range rovers the hood itself (none of the exterior vents) is the intake and sucks in air from the top of the engine bay. On the defender the intake is to the outside on the side. Unsure about the velar and evoque though
Thanks ☺️
2:58 Guy also
@@joko888 Not 100% sure, but I think the evoque has the intake near the grill, though I'd hope JLR did some protection...
Plus a lot of range rovers are fitted with wade sensing which measures the depth of the water and tells you if it is too deep
Most of these cars (if not all) are well capable of crossing over without difficulty, if only they were driven properly. There is absolutely no need to gun for the road, the tide simply works against you anyway. Slow and steady does the job.
Learned something new today, thx!
Exactly. I live in a country where we are being battered by typhoons for over half of the year and flooding is almost a daily occurence. That water is not even high enough and even sedans can get pass thru that.
These suv owners never watch tip gear or fifth gear. That's why they end up buying cars and ending up in debt
As a Trainer with Landrover Experience I want to cry. 🥲
TBH I think the ones who gunned it mostly had snorkels fitted, they probably did know the correct way but they knew they’d still get through and just wanted to entertain everyone.
1:50 was the only guy who actually knew how to drive through deep water. You sir, you deserve to drive a land rover.
6:29
2:58 Guy also knows how
4:07
2:25
3:05 did pretty good too
1:40 LR Range Rover Sport
2:21 LR Defender
2:55 LR Range Rover
3:31 LR Discovery Sport
6:23 LR Range Rover Sport (both)
Congratulations to yall not damaging your expensive vehicles and wading correctly🎉
Thank you very much, I was the 3:31 Sport.😉
@@mansfieldmassive8120 you're very welcome
Disco 4 at 6:10 knew what he was at also
Also 4:37 Freelander 2. Perfect execution.
At 7:03 LR Discovery
Imagine, having a land rover but don't know how to cross deep water. Embarrassing.
These are the same people that complain their range is broken
unfortunately they don’t know a term called “water wading” lol
@@bluejar5614 imagine being so smart that you don't know you're watching.while they're recording and making money in yt lmao
I know right
Exactly I got 2 of them and i was like: what? Are you doing
I work as an instructor for Land Rover teaching perspective and current customers how to traverse terrain such a ford like this. Its amazing the amount of people think you need to smash into the water. A lot of them dont even know their vehicles have a wading feature that closes the vents on the current models and raises the vehicle to the maximum off road height this varies depending on the year it was released and model however the evoque and discovery sport only have coil suspension so wading depths for those need extra consideration. Also just because your car is heavy and can wade through a lot of water too much water and it will float. It’s great Job by the way lot of fun too and educational as there is always more than 1 way of doing it.
Curious, are the new Land Rovers getting more reliable overall?
@@jophoto934 they definitely more reliable but it’s like anything as long as you take care of it it should last. Also brilliant pieces of kit to drive.
@@jophoto934 new land rover cars are getting more reliable because of hybrid tecnology and using less mechanical parts
@@starlegendtcw Sir who owns land rover now?
@@nixenvines007 Tata motors owns the jaguar land rover company
I remember my father had a series 1 TDi Disco with an attached snorkel and we went through rivers that had water up to our windshield outside the car and up to our knees inside the cabin. They truly are amazing machines when driven well with the correct aftermarket gear.
A Tdi is a whole different story to these newer ones. No electronics to go wrong in the water.
Oh yeah.. The only issue is that they are lemon car!
@@georgewilliamson9358 ECU beneath the seat?
Depends on the engine. Past 15 years they're crap overall.
@@em4703 My LR4 with a 5.0 liter v8 has about a 150.000km's and is still going super strong. I never had any issues.
Beats me the speed some ppl drive into deep water like that crazy 🤔
They see the camera and what to make big splash then their vehicle gets hydro locked
@@DaLizMs o defo know its to show off 👍
They are scared of the fishes.
Nice to see a couple of SVR’s, they certainly sound amazing
Shocking how many land over drivers have NO CLUE how to drive through a water crossing.
The saying goes "as SLOW as possible, as fast as necessary".
Here is what my experienced, 4x4 enthusiast uncle taught me. When crossing water:
1. Walk through it first to gauge the depth and terrain under the surface of the water. This is never something drivers like to do - they'd rather walk to work on the Monday while their 4x4 is getting repaired for water damage after getting stuck. In this case, the depth is known so I guess it isn't that necessary. Most landies cannot wade (drive through) water deeper than 50-90cm in stock (unmodified) form. Water deeper than the bonnet is generally a no-go.
2. Keep a steady, moderate pace with a very gentle bow wave. This reduces the amount of water in the engine bay. Too slow and / or especially too fast and you can be assured that your entire engine and ALL the electronics inside the engine bay is under water - this is not good!
For some good examples see the blue old shape Defender (2:35), Range Rover (3:00), dark Discovery Sport (3:33) and green Discovery 2 (3:57). These have the perfect bow wave.
A few other observations:
- White smoke means water got into the engine, was burnt (with fuel) and turned into white water vapour. Again, this isn't good.
- Water crossings generally are not good for vehicles. They rust and the vehicles also have diff breathers (holes that allow hot air to escape as the diffs become warm from driving) and these holes can let water in.
- The (skoda?) driver almost getting washed away by an over eager land rover driver was pretty darn funny...
- And then, the embarrassment of the red Velar getting towed by the all time least reliable vehicle Land Rover has ever produced - a Freelander Mark 1 - is hilarious just hilarious. I thought they only fitted recovery points to the front of Freelanders? 🤷🏻♂️
- And if you're watching this, you're blessed. So am I. For MY blessings, I give ALL the glory to the Lord Jesus Christ Who is God and His Holy Ghost.
"A Land Rover will TAKE you just about anywhere in the world, but if you wanna go AND COME BACK... you need a Toyota. 😉"
Joking aside, I think Land Rover is still the best 4x4xfar.
My favourites in order:
Discovery 1 V8
Discovery 2 V8
Range Rover P38 V8
Discovery 4 SDV6
Range Rover L322 V8 petrol or diesel
Range Rover Sport SDV6
....
The end.
I feel like I just came out of the theater.
Perfeito seu comentário, gostaria até de salvar
Nicely done mate! :)
This is the best comment I have ever read!! Thank you from a Range Rover driving woman who loves God and Land Rovers too xxx
If I walked through the thing I'd be totally wet! Never going to happen! No one in the history of these videos has ever walked through it first.
So that’s why land rovers have a reputation for breaking down all the time. Mystery solved.
Can we also have a super high end vehicle comp - the Bentleys, Rolls, Lamborghinis, etc. 😃
Sure I’ll work on it 👍🏼
...And what it cost to put them right afterwards would be interesting too, if that info ever works it way back?
Also the big Land Rover Range Rover is quite high end
For them it would be underwater
Lambo would just go underwater lol
As a Range Rover owner who goes on occasional off-roading I am ashemed by some of the Land Rover team members who represented us here.
@Mohamad bin Hamza like all Luxury vehicles, Range Rovers are really complex so preventative maintenance and not driving it like you stole it is essential. I believe that if you take care of your car it will work forever. Only major difference is the cost per km/mile in regards to parts and workshop hourly charge. That is more expensive than some regular cars but other than that amazing vehicles. No better 'can do everything vehicle' imho
@Mohammad Bin Hamza If you compare Porsche to LR than it has better reliability.
Buy a Toyota Landcruiser if you want reliability
Man those defenders were graceful - both old and new gen!
I like the RR sport in 6:39 crossing the water and that rev after passes thw water is joyful.
I was looking for this comment haha ❤
Every one of those land rovers should have made it through but there’s a few knob heads in there . Old defenders are still the business though .
They are unfazed by the water…just a normal day for them
For people who doesn't know: don't drive fast through water, you can see that if people drive fast through water, it creates ripple, wave and or splash. Now that ripple we can see the splash direction is to the outside, but it also splashes the water to inside the engine, thus splashing, wetting and drowning the engine. But if you drive slowly it won't splash too much water to the engine.
A truly great car built for off-road shouldn't require a special driving technique to get through water. Imagine reading the manual of your new off-road car and realizing you should be extra careful driving through a ditchful of water or else you'd ruin it 🤭 There's a reason why Toyota Landcruiser is loved across the world even by armies and terrorist groups - it's a hardy car that demands very little care.
@@User2OO7 yes fits the name ain't it? Great car, great cost
@@User2OO7 There's no production car that should ever be driven into deep water at speed. That's the opposite of correct off-road technique. Where the heck do you think the engine gets air from? You drown the car you drown the engine. You have to create a bow wave to cross water and do it in a controlled manner.
@@User2OO7 What? Go splash a land-cruiser and it'd hydrolock like any car. If you drive with great velocity into water and water gets to your intake, you're fucked. No Toyota tattoo's on your forehead will ever save you from that. Even with a Land Cruiser, you'd need technique.
Why should anyone be extra careful and drive on the right side of the road? A Toyota can easily drive on the other side too!
It's a shame that the Landcruiser has a lower wading depth than most Range Rover products as standard. Google this and click on the article: "Flood-ready motors: The 10 modern cars with impressive wading depths - as experts warn not all SUVs can cope" @@User2OO7
Thanks for the video, great! It is a pity that Velar could not leave with dignity, but it is easy to explain why! I did not expect such pressure and maneuverability from RR Sport!
Could I ask why? I genuinely would like to know
It’s actually based on the Jaguar F-Pace, but not that the driver gave it a fair chance to get through unharmed.
Velar came into production after Ownership change.
Velar has a lower wading depth, around 250-300mm less than the more hardcore Range Rovers. That may not have helped. The full fat models have a wade depth sensing system as standard but I think it's an option on the Velar. Mind you, it seems that most owners aren't concerned with such things as numbers or reading the manual, and think they have a force field around their car. With the state of the spare parts backlog at the moment for JLR I would want to be really sure I could make it before going through that ford at the moment.
@@timk3939 I agree with you
So many Land Rover in there, amazing
i think is germany
I'm an Aussie living on acreage and often required to cross a creek not unlike this crossing in depth and probably not quite as wide. Having done a 4x4 training course, the key as demonstrated by quite a number here, is gently does it and create that bow wave. And in my case, because it's a dirt road either side of the creek, I pause for the water to run back into the creek and then I'm on my way again. Also need to touch the brakes to ensure you have stopping ability.
So funny,, the "invincible" 4x4 drivers basically being NOT ! Ha!!!
Hats off to the elegant, refined proper drivers who just cruised through 🏴👍
I believe the phrase is "All the gear, no idea!"
Thank you for everything you have presented so cool 👍👍👍Best wishes and success always for friends and groups hope you are all always in happiness
In Houston, Texas "It's Turn Around, Don't Drown". I Love Land Range Rovers. (The Defender 110 V8)
The evoque at 4.52 was driven ok. Dunno why it still couldn't make it. Surprising! It's intake is on the side exactly at the top of the fender. The water never came there.
Not all Range Rover and jaguar comes with wading especially base model most go up to 3-4 feet base is like a couple inches to 1 foot also gotta make sure everything stays completely stock
That’s why it’s called wading & not launching 😂
Best comment by far 🤣🤣🤣
That's what I am talking about , thanks Ben
A moment of silence for that skoda🤣
most of these would've been fine if they just went slow and actually forded properly instead of flooring it lol
Land Rover: “Who needs reliability when you can max out on off-roading and comfort ability?” Literally my personal slogan for them lol, I love their cars so much, I finally got one of my own as a first car!
so... is the reliability a big issue or not a big issue for you? and how is it faring so far with your personal car
Loving the way how the SVR was the most capable one out there!
You cant beat the old defender 90..... like a submarine on wheels. Great vid
Did not expect the new ones to actually go through
Maybe that's why they so expensive they look amazing and have great off road capability !
The new ones have much higher wade depths than older ones from the factory, however the older ones can be modified to have extremely high wade depths unlike the new ones.
Design isn't something I'd praise em for... The old boxes did it better I'd say
Yes they have great off road capability, no corners cut. Extensive rig testing, to totally pummel the cars, and they're built to survive massive impacts. They're a bit too expensive now to risk offroading with for some people though as they are so premium.
New and Old Defenders smashing it 😍
Discovery Sport touch and go with the Wade depth 😳
One of the best if not the best
The video I’ve been waiting for!! My favourite brand.
Because of the great build quality this "river" is full of Land Rover body parts!
RR Velar is the first Land Rover in my memory that could not pass here...
I believe it's passed b4, driver error I feel.
Velar is the ugliest car they've ever made.
Lol poor Kodiaq just chilling there in a water 😂
This why I love Land Rover Range Rover is so fun to drive on off road ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Svr like a boss in n stright out
You can spot the ones who bought their LR/RR new - taking the opportunity to go on the ‘Off road experience day’.
Love Land Rover
The defender drivers are so violent😂
2:23 be like I am used to it🔥🔥
Land Rover: Whats with all these tiny puddles on the road???
that little blue evoque is amazing 😁
The sound of the Defender 5 cylinder is so nice.
0:35
The VW: I Die!!
The Land Rover: LET ME SHOW YOU MY SKILLS!!
Even better if he had towed him out .
thats a bloody skoda
Those door seals must be impeccable!!!
2:30 the women is holding her phone texting as it is typical day lol
What a good ad for Range Rover good on your guys
Old mate in the Skoda will be wishing he'd bought a Land Rover (a proper Land Rover, not a Range Rover Velar or Discovery Sport lol)
😂
Bro discovery sport can definitely do this, but not velar 🙃
All Land Rovers are off road capable.
6:40 - Who the hell lets their kid go and stand in the middle of the road to get videos...?
Land Rover suit and tie 👔 of automotive industry!!💥
This is a good Land Rover commercial all in all
Good video Ben thanks for uploading! Hope you didn’t get too wet at 5:16 looked like it was proper pelting it down
1:24 at that moment he know...
0:35 OMG is that a BMW stuck??🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am a big land rover fan
I was quite surprised by 4:55... it didn't look great, but it looked acceptable enough to get through... apparently not!
All these vehicles are very capable of crossing that ford safely and without incident……..unless the clowns driving them plow in at high speed.
Mrs said what should we do with the kids tomorrow.. I suggested Rufford Ford 😁😁🙈
As a child l really love to watch this
And also when a tractor cross this type road.
спонсор видео - рендж :)
The surprise for me was the Evoque, which was driven fairly carefully and should have been fine at that depth.
It's just a crossover suv, it's not a proper range rover and not as capable.
@@dahotrod1533 it's got a decent wading depth
@@markburton8303 only 53cm wading depth a proper rangerover is 90cm
For reference the wading depth of a honda crv mk2 is 50cm.
That’s why Land Rover is the best car brand in the world 🌎, best off-roaders on this planet 🌍
Land Rover: Always "ABOVE AND BEYOND"
nice catches
Thank you
It's amazing that some Land Rovers are driven sensibly! But clearly this is a minority.
Awesome video.
My favorite brand Land Rover nothing come close
one of these days there's going to be that one guy that hits the water so hard their Hood flips up and smashes their windshield in because of the water pressure underneath where the grill is
You know Range/Land Rover mechanics were very busy after this
Up to the service!
1:42 perfect
Would love to see a Jeep compilation for comparison, though I assume there are not many of them in that country.
We live in a wet country son. Can jeeps handle the wet?
I can't imagine spending tooth and nail on one of these rigs to then just recklessly charge through DEEP standing water. Even if water doesn't get into the intake, you're still potentially damaging the bumper, various trays and shields, fog lights etc. Utterly daft behaviour! I hope the insurance companies have people watching these vids anytime someone claims for flood damage that occurred in this locale
Totally agree. Then they wonder why 4 days later their vehicle’s carpet smells like there is a corpse in the back seat, and all the sensor lights are on.😱
Oh well it’s their money. Used car buyer beware.
Every off-road vehicle should be able to drive through pools of water without trouble or special care or driving technique, otherwise it's not worth your money. Anyway, you can still buy such junk and keep it away from these conditions even though it's marketed "off-road"
@@User2OO7 can you name at least one off road vehicle that comes stock with a snorkel?
Feels like the last night at the proms blasting out Land of Hope and Glory lol
1:43 thts the scenes i was waiting for❤. He knows hw to
На 1.50 единственный водитель, который правильно въехал в воду, пустив волну перед собой.
Повсей видимости, многие водители не знают что такое Гидро удар для двигателя.
Да, я тоже при*уел знатно, хотя водятел на БМВ уже узнал)
I want all these RANGE ROVER
1:56 had a snorkel..but even though, take it easy man!
The kid with the hood up Adidas hoodie, needs to get it home before his dad reports it nicked, although when he finds a dead duck in the grill he might suspect something...
And all they need to do is drive slowly 😂 a lot of angry leasing companies after this !!!!!
nice #landrover video
Best 4x4xfar to be fair
in new models of land rovers, this depth is acceptable. it's a pity that not everyone knows how to overcome it
So the key is driving slowly but with consistent gas
Les lands sont les meilleurs 😇
"hi5, namaste" nice video buddy:-*
With the Defender being able to wade 900mm it made it look like a small puddle.
Yeah, it was 2ft only
I went through a Ford with a torn CV joint, don’t bother going through if you haven’t checked them as it’s going to cost £150 for a new CV joint
About £15 for the CV boot if you catch it early, before dirt and water gets in to the joint.
I ❤ big splashes... 🚘🌊 🤗 🤣
that first range rover going back the other way was dangerous with that man between his car and the wall.
So sad to see the ford empty today; hope the wildlife is ok, the lakes fill soon and the tossers who screwed with the sluice gate meet a timely end.
What happened?
@@Sanjeev.vampire Apparently some idiots opened the sluice gates on Friday night which part drained the lakes, staff have them had to close the sluice fully to refill the lakes meaning the stream / ford has effectively no water until the lakes full again.
That's so immaturity and irresponsible
What a nice person you must be.
Слабоумие и отвага!)
Деньги на range rover есть, а ума нет)))
Some of these (maybe all? don't know exactly which models) should have their air intakes located behind those little grilles that sit behind the front wheel arch. You'll notice, if you drive them properly through water that the bow wave at the front, gives way to a depression behind, where the water cuts significantly under this grille. However, I am not sure how much of the air path is actually sealed, so there is still some chance of getting water in there from another location. I think if its not got the little grilles the air intake is still high up on the bonnet line somewhere along the top of the front fender.
That new one Defender is damn good and dirty SUV 👏🏻
