First thing you should do after cutting out in deep water is.. try and start it repeatedly, & rev it as hard as you can.
Second thing you should do if the above fails, is pop your bonnet and stare at the engine. That should sort it. 👍🏼
Hydro lock 🎉🤪
ah ah at first i thought you was serious, then i read it again and realized you're being sarcastic
Thanks, will keep it in mind
@@SethiozProject Yep, sarcasm 😉
Revving it keeps the engine hot, which boils the water, therefore in-hydrolocking your engine.
The young couple won't be laughing when they see the repair bill for their mini!
You could tell they had no idea what they were looking at in the engine bay!
More like their dad won’t
They are junk lol
It'll be a write off
The car said "check the engine" so they did. "Yea, still there"
Imagine those tiny turbo blades as they find the incoming water. About as much damage as sticking a screwdriver in the fan
The turbo blades don't get that much damage as it's just a passage. The ones that don't like water all all are the rods.
I often wonder about the train of thought of creeping gently forward and then booting it at full throttle. Are they trying to take the water by surprise do you think??🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I'll get it this time... DAMN IT!"
I don't understand why some drivers slow down, approach the water carefully, and in the deepest part speed up, screwing everything up.
probably because their door seals start dribbing a a little water and they panic.
I believe they think they can outrun the water
I think they think that if they don’t go fast enough they will lose grip.
@@Rapscallion2009 Yup, I've seen that before! I've had geysers pouring up from the floor drains in my Triumph Spitfire doing this. Never once stalled it.
they might be zcared to loze momentum and then the car would juzt float LOL. i've zeen that with a vw golf.
i don't underztand why they don't juzt fix the ford once and for all!
they should include Rufford Ford as a "Coffee Break" mission in Gran Turismo 7 :D
An expensive way to find out the insurance companies don't pay out for stupidity.
If the "Road Closed" sign is being displayed but ignored by the driver then an insurance company my be reluctant to pay up (and they do have a habit of checking such things).
@@Discoveryjamiehydro locking the engine will not be covered, I know several people, who were fully comp, never got the engine replacement. I think if you read your policy it will have one very special word before 'water damage' that word will be 'accidental'....
@@Discoveryjamie Let us know if your policy has the word 'accidental'? Either way let us know if they pay out when it's not 'accidental'. I think everyone here would love any insurance company that paid out when it's not accidental. I'm 99.9% sure your insurance company will disagree with you.
@@Discoveryjamie One quote from an insurance company. if you have fully comp yes you are covered if you made an effort to protect car like move it to higher ground in flash flood , but driving in to water they say some will not pay pout even if fully comp exp if it was avoidable
I guess the guy in the Jeep didn't realise he was still in third gear.
I had a gear linkage jam after going through water in that model. Stick showed 1 and 2...but it was in 3rd/4th.
I can smell clutch from here!
I was wondering what happened to the jeep as it didn't look like water get inside the air intake. Thanks for the explanation
Love it how people open the bonnet not really having a clue what to look for, maybe a drying out button!
Light says check engine. And yep, engine is still there 😂
I got a Peugeot advert for a 2008 car just after that 2008 at the end stopped - perfect timing.
I want to live in this village!! All the neighbours seems so nice and friendly.
The mechanic bills is not friendly
Lot of rural English villages are great places to live.
3:36 If people don’t already know, according to I think the owner he said that the gear linkage went and even know he put it in first it was actually still in 3rd.
Interesting. The Indicator in the river shows that the water is just 1 foot deep. Most (if not all) cars would have past this spot without an issue, if they had reduced the speed enough so no waves are produced by the car. (It then takes about 20sec to pass the spot).
1 ft is the indicator, my guess is that there's still a few cm to the deepest point and the indicator is really just a value for comparison, not a real measurement
The white mini was the only one with common sense
Clearly common sense isn’t that common.
People who think water is 'soft'...Parts carnage again and I love it.
Me and my husband love watching these when we get some spare time travelling in our motorhome. We both agree. We would not think twice about trying this. Great videos. Chelsea and mike
Not nitpicking but think you mean "We would not think twice about **NOT** trying this"... As posted it suggests that you would try and cross the ford without a second thought as too what may happen.
@@terminaljunk oh this is odd normally my spell checker corrects my grammar rather then actually message me
@@thevigarfeeling The joys of technology but no offence intended :-)
My little ponytail loves it😂😂😂
The guy in the Mini - you won't be giggling when you get the bill.
I just cant wrap my head around the amount of people trying this and hydrolocking the engine.. wow. These are quite new cars there
Fair play to the blond bird with the ponytail collecting all the broken car parks.
We had a street in Baghdad it called if your car survived you get 100 dollars, i wants to across that road but i had a gut feeling it’s wrong so i toke the stick i had for fishing and i sticked it in the water it was over 80 cm 😂 if i went across that water my car engine will say good bye
I live in Southern New Zealand. That is not how you pass through an area of water like the Rufford Fall where i live. Funny.
Funny how they struggle round the corner then hide in that small road and open their bonnets thinking they can't be filmed lol
Anyone else would be stood on the side laughing and calling each one a bellend as their car just locks to a halt? 😂
LOVE the fails! Thank you so much!
I really don't understand why people drive so fast into deep water. Is it because they are afraid of water getting in to the cabin? Is it because they think the faster they go, the less damage the water can inflict? 🤷♂Or maybe they just want to show off for us viewers? 😂
Edit: I remember some expert said last spring in mainstream media, that you can damage your engine beyond repair if it's running hot, and you just dunk the lower part of the engine block in cold water. In that situation the temperature difference is so big that the block itself can warp. Of course in Finland our spring floods can produce deep puddles of water with the water temperature just above freezing, which is a step worse than this, but definitely something to think about. 🤔
@@MattBrownbill Sir, you are absolutely correct . 👍
Love watching ya vids from over here in Australia, keep up the good work 👏
Well...at least those loose parts are all washed clean!
That water is anything but clean...
The Girl in the Black Mini raising her feet off the floor as if water is gonna enter inside 🤭
7:10 karma delivered......
292ENG got himself a Land Rover after this, according to the DVLA. Lesson learned.
Does it freeze in winter? If so do people still cross it? Id love to see that!
It rarely gets cold enough in England for deep water to freeze.
It was -10 a few weeks ago with ice sheets floating down the river Avon that’s cold enough for deep water to freeze, not shallow fast running water though
I love the shot at 6:43 of the collection of car parts and number plates.
Slow and steady wins the race..
I wonder if insurance companies are aware of you guys channels when the drivers claims form states it was only a puddle they drove through💦😂
Insurance companies aren't stupid - particularly if the "Road Closed" signs are being displayed thence ignored...
Surprising by how many idiots think it's funny to drive through the water at those speeds, I hope the insurance companies do watch these videos and decline their claims, especially the muppet in the BMW for the first clip
So that first BMW...what's the point of virtually coming to a full stop and then flooring it?
I think Midlifecrisis101x had footage of the driver trying to start that engine again with the hood up.
That engine shook like an earthquake, definately hydrolock damage.
Kudos for the well dressed guy getting his pants&shoes wet but keeping the water clean 👍
He should invest in a pair of waders.
"did you crossed the water?"
"Yes"
"At what cost?"
я понять не могу зачем на такой скорости лужи переезжать)))
Гидроудар
The BMW E92 (first car) - It Can't Swim.
MK3 golf I can’t see if it’s granny grandad or a bit of both driving
Either way a 96/97 p plater golf made it this far only to conk out but the engine didn’t sound fooked just water in the electrics
Lucky escape grannydad
Perhaps there should be two kinds of car driver's fail - Wet Feet and Dry Feet? 😄
Two kinds of car fail too? Donation to the Scrap Pile & White Smoke! 😀
Half a million quid in seven minutes
Also, people vastly underestimate the power of water!😂
😂 This was a good one! 🤣🤣
If I need any plastic parts I know where to go 🤣🤣
You could set a stall up there and flog the bits on 😂
@@skylined5534 ye let's go you coming 🤣👍
7:33 Peugeot E2008 - must be the first time the ford has caused an electric car to fail?
I imagine the dealers diagnostic computer will be lighting up like an xmas tree!
That guy in the Jeep at 3:42 hasn't got a clue in what gear he's in by the looks of it....
Gear linkage went.
@@connory6741 I guess that's possible, but to me it looks like he was driving in another gear through the water than when he drove off when stalling. For sure the gearlinkeage can't break by driving that slow in the water, so if it's the cause of the problem it's a hell of a coincedence if it broke just here.
And if it broke earlier... not too smart to drive around and drive through a ford with only 1 high gear.
@@mrpetit2 found it in another comment that the guy who apparently owned the jeep said.
@@connory6741 well it sounds like an excuse to me. When your gearlinkeage breaks, first thing that comes to mind is to stop at the side of the road, to see what's actually going on as the gearshifter feels really weird all of a sudden. Certainly not continuing the journey in the same high gear like nothing happened.
It also doesn't explain how he got into that way to high gear, as that seems to me also too high to drive through the ford.
Unless the linkeage was already broken when he started his journey. Then going through a ford is even more stupid.
@@mrpetit2 he should have stopped. Plus also shouldn’t have gone through the way he did.
People don't seem to understand how the combustion engine works, if water gets in your cylinders, there's no explosion, you could totally ruin your engine block if you try to floor it.
YOU HAVE TO WAIT A FEW HOURS FOR THE WATER TO EVAPORATE.
I wouldn't be worried about no explosion, what is damaging is that water is not compressible and your engine parts are getting bent instead.
I don't understand how that Jeep Cherokee had any water problems, it didn't go high enough to suck through the air intake.
This shatters the common misconceptions about age & wisdom. So many silly old farts ruining expensive cars.
They do this to save less then a mile 😂
BMW will not survive the encounter with water one hundred percent. You have a BMW, give up on crossing this river right away.
4:05 be cool with the clutch man
If you rearranged the letters in rufford ford you get ,oh no what the foookin hell was I thinking ,give or take a few letters 😳
Just amazing, so many people thinking their cars are part boats... Was that Ben at 1:26 ?? he was going incognito with the sunglasses on so it was difficult to tell.. 😎😎😎
Poor old Pete the Peugeot meets his maker 2.07 click click R.I.P
Some people must have more money than sense. But let’s face it, they wouldn’t need a lot of money 🤣🤣
We want to see the Jermy Clarkson & crew do the river.
👇
You should ask the local garages, dealers to send you the bent valves, could stick them to the side of the ford like notches on a bed frame. It’s so amazing how stupid so many people are (excluding the jeep, that really should have been OK). I guess it’s down to how few people work on their own cars nowadays and know very little on how they work. I wonder how many engines have been destroyed there.
What is the damaged engine /car per hour or per day?
The secret is, not cross the river too fast !
The jeep compass killed me just because it says jeep doesnt mean it does jeep things
A BMW would stall out if you drove home from the gym too sweaty.
Not even remotely funny.
hey Tom . AWESOME fails video . Not sure why the guy with the blonde ponytail likes to go into the water with his dress shoes on LOL . Best . Mark (Toronto) 👍💙🌈
If you can't beat them, join them. He is now one with the locals. 😁
looks like james may in the blue car at 1:11 lol
Why stop, to then accelerate fast through it? 😅
im comin on the bike! lol.
It's very difficult to understand just how many stupid drivers try to get through water that deep at any speed and not damage their vehicles. Unless the engine ingested water and hydraulically locked, most problems are usually water on the air flow sensor on the intake side that has to be dried and a new air filter fitted.
Most people don't understand how low to the ground the air intake actually is. They think that as long as the water is below the radiator grill they're fine.
You would be off your head living next to that - all those people and cars and tow trucks
U know when they lift the bonnet and look at the engine there thinking, f me, what's all that wiring and pipes do
1:08 ha james may 🤣
There should be 2 more CZcams channels from than area: a car workshop and a towing company
Would give a great holistic view on situation what happens, when you're daring enough to hydrolock your engine
Вот нравится смотреть на людей, которые открывают капот, смотрят туда и почёсывают спину
0:58 un mk3 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Well, if highways aren't going to build a bridge over it, they could at least put a pull in either side for people to put their broken down cars in! 🤦♂️
Lots of thirsty cars
All this to save one minute
I bought a Jeep! Perfect!
Why the reupload?
Thousands of pounds of cars and thousands of pounds of damage
The dumb test.
If you opened a car engine repair garage next to this ford crossing, you would be set up for life................
there are some liquids for the drivers and another for their cars 》 both produces nice white smoke 💭🤭🤗
Scrap yard business!
Why is it so satisfying when it's BMW drivers?
I went tru a flood a about 10 years ago with an opel corsa. No problem. Did with Ford fiesta before that. It went for scrap
Most people don't seem capable of going through s-l-o-w-l-y and manage to wreck their engine in about a foot of water.
The black BMW estate will be in the garage real soon.
We see so many are in trouble . Isnt there a warning sign visible to motorists?
Common sense
I wonder how many people get their insurance claims kicked out, No doubt all insurance companies will be subscribed to this channel
1:50 don't start your car if you don't want the cost to fix it goes higher
its probably just wet dizzy
Nissan went thru the water with no problem .
It's great listening to a cranking engine producing the compression sounds of exactly the wrong number of cylinders......
The title should be: "Driving for dummies: How NOT to ford"
When you see a mini approaching the Ford, you just know.
Know what? And why specifically a Mini?
If the hydro lock doesn't trash your con rods it can blow out a head gasket and a you get a smoky exhaust.
Why can’t they just make a bridge unless there is duck passing by😅
The whole village lives of mechanics and CZcams, so there is no motivation... 😁
Its an historic site with an alternative route
@Retired Bore 6:36 is a good example just put some kind of passageway for water flow
Surprised how little water it takes... some of the cars were stupid but some looked OK
My heart goes out to the partners of these people wrecking the family car! And people waiting for a plumber to turn up who's stuck in the ford! Saw a plumbers van do this on one video. Stopped 10 feet past it with black smoke coming out the exhaust.
Black smoke is the good smoke. That’s only carbon from a diesel engine. The moment you see loads of steam here, you know your engine has bin submerged a little. Which in some bad cases lead to hydrolocking.
Why did the van at 4:55 breakdown? It didn't seem like the water went into the engine bay.
It doesn't have to. If a relatively small quantity is sucked into the air intake (which could be just in front of the front wheels) and it gets into the engine then it could destroy the engine.
