@@assmannewzealand Its all a matter of not making waves and sucking a bunch of water into the motor. I wouldn't drive any modern vehicle through deep water with all the electronics.
In Davao Philippines last night after torrential rain, we had to get through several floods. Many cars stopped at the sides of the road and a few conked out in the water. Gauging the depth by the height on the kerbstones, we crawled through on idle with no bow wave (Toyota Innova). Several who were stopped waited to see if we got through, then followed us. It's speed that wrecks your engine - not only does it shoot water into the engine intake, but also fills your sump. Cars don't run well on water as a lubricant, so those Discoverys and Range Rovers are in for an engine change.
If the depth of water in a hazard is unknown, get your lazy arse out of your vehicle and have a look to assess whether you should even attempt it. If you do, go at crawling speed without forming a bow wave
Rule 1.. Look how deep the water is. Rule 2… Know how high you engine intake is. Rule 3. If 1 his more than 2, don’t .. just don’t Rule 4. If you go, go slow. Don’t create waves that push water up into your intake. Rule 5. If you get stuck don’t threaten the onlookers. It only makes them laugh more.
@@Worstenboer Your transmission is water tight, if not you'd be leaking transmission fluid everywhere. What's killing all these vehicles is hydrolock where water enters the engine from the intake.
Pro tip: after hydrolocking, take out your spark plugs and crank it so it shoots the water out and doesn't blow up your piston rods when you try and start it lol

@@blueredbrick it’s not far in distance but the traffic queues at the Ollerton roundabout can be horrendous. I’m not sure I could cope with the shame if I got to the ford and backed out. Once you’ve decided, you’ve gotta go through with it…🥴
@@HYSTERIA-ee2re so you've watched the video and seen them aqua plane uncontrollably down the wrong exit further down the stream and they somehow perfectly direct the car down the middle and not crashed into anything? Hmm I think that's lack of direction 🤔
Top tip if you’re a lorry/larger vehicle driver, go in slowly. You might actually make it across if you don’t create a tidal wave in front of you that then gets sucked into your intake and hydrolocks (destroys) the engine. Again, people knowing nothing about what they drive.
If you listen very carefully you can hear some of them chanting "thirteen-thirteen-thirteen!" then as another car bites the dust it changes to "fourteen-fourteen-fourteen!"

Every winter at the local breakers yard you would see the latest 4x4 deliveries. People don't seem to realise that just because you have a 4x4 doesn't mean you can go fast in bad conditions, it just means you can keep going, but slowly!
Some people may see a road here, some may even see a ford, I see a river and it's not something I would attempt crossing in anything that DOESN'T have a hull and a outboard motor, even vehicles with snorkels are dying. I don't look at a estuary and think, yes, I'll cross that in my car. For some reason, once people see theres tarmac underneath they still look at it as been a road, I see something that's only suitable for boats.
Here in Canada it's the same ,when we get a winter blizzard or any amount of snow it is always the 4x4 and pickup trucks that are the ones that drive to fast thinking they are invincible....not so much
If it looks deep it’s better to have a snorkel and go through the water slow to have any chance of making it without damage. There’s a variety of reasons. The height of your air intake or the type of Computer system you have etc
The angry blue Fiesta has had an excellent MOT record every March until March 2022 when it expired, never to be renewed again. I'm not sure whether it was the water or the stupidity of the driver that killed it but, either way, it's dead. 😉
@@crapcopter An annual Government mechanical and safety inspection that all cars in the UK have to pass before they can be used on the road for another year. I would guess that the blue Fiesta has now been scrapped as it will never pass another MOT. The cost of repairing it will be more than the value of the car.
@@crapcopter It's usually done by private companies, paid for by the car owner; the govt just collects the results (well, the firm doing the test sends them to the govt department responsible, to be exact). You only need them when the car is more than 3 years old (I think it's 3, I've never had a car new enough to not need one).
Most cars here are totalled anyway. Not just by hydrolock but the water entering the inside of the car finishes it off. That's pretty undoable to dry it without future electric problems.
@@jordan3405 well at least you could buy the wrecked vehicle for £100 and then sell on any useful parts that may be salvageable (not the engine, as that would be knackered) - before scrapping the shell 😛
Here in America, we have these things called bridges, that bring the road right up over the water. Kind of like what the bystanders are standing on here. One would be very handy in this area I think.
It always amazes me the stupidity of some of these drivers. What do thay thinks going to happen when thay drive in and the waters 💧 over the bonnet 🤔 lol 😆 great vid cheers
Like how the Ejit in the 4x4 at 10:00 charges through, splashing the spectators ... who respond by cheering when he conks-out a few metres further. Then the photographer taking close-ups rubs salt into the wound 😃
The funny thing is there is an elevated pathway for pedestrians, but there is not one for cars. Is that an scheme settled by the town's mechanics? Anyway, keep up the great work.
I get this is a joke, but for anyone wondering. The river is not deep enough to warrent a bridge being built. There are also many ways around the ford :D
All of my car manuals have listed a maximum wading depth. The Disco book even had specific instructions on how to drive through water. People always drive too fast. As a community nurse in Shropshire, I went through lots of fords and floods. I drove into them slowly then whewn the water got to my maximum depth, I reversed out. Otherwise I would pass through. I never had a problem.
I had a little cottage not far from there in the late 70s early 80s . From what I remember it's very easy to avoid driving through the ford if the weather is bad ...
Had a Jeep TJ and all the lads used to take off the little mini air intake snorkel on the airbox to reduce flow restriction. Always thought they were daft doing that given the way we'd cross streams and root in the mud. Probably gives you another 3-6 inches of clearance for crossings like this...assuming you don't fully throttle into them like some of these donuts.
@@matthewbowen5841 its water getting in / around the pulleys. Been doing that since the 2.2 dervs. If the drivers werent morons and drove through at a sensible speed then they’d be fine. Even the Evoque has a wading depth of approx 2ft

@@crapcopter An annual Government mechanical and safety inspection that all cars in the UK have to pass before they can be used on the road for another year. I would guess that the blue Fiesta has now been scrapped as it will never pass another MOT. The cost of repairing it will be more than the value of the car.
@@richardsutton01 Thanks mate, didn't know government inspected cars, sounds like a hassle.
@@crapcopter It's usually done by private companies, paid for by the car owner; the govt just collects the results (well, the firm doing the test sends them to the govt department responsible, to be exact). You only need them when the car is more than 3 years old (I think it's 3, I've never had a car new enough to not need one).
Most cars here are totalled anyway. Not just by hydrolock but the water entering the inside of the car finishes it off. That's pretty undoable to dry it without future electric problems.
What a great local sport, I applaud these people coming from all over to support the local towing and auto repair service!
That Discovery with the daft snorkel, you can see it's not connected to anything when the bonnet's open 😂
Can’t believe the guy in the silver Land Rover with “big” wheels went through it twice. Different speeds but same result. Nice work fella🤪
This is content I didn't know I needed, I would like to thank all these drivers.
Don't you mean divers?
Love how the person on the white golf is still trying use the steering wheel when he's floating about🤣🤣
"if you think about it, wheels are like mini rudders"
He's thinking "If it worked for the VW Schwimmwagen..."
Most golf drivers are muppets, it's a common sight to see them driving into rivers and walls .
That beemer that lost its rear bumper! Hahahahahaha (x1000)
I find it funny that some cars help others get out of the water to then give it a try the wrong way and break down the other side hahah
The duck says, "Quack, quack, quack"!
You can use the online MOT checker to see how many of these cars got written off afterwards - at least 3 of these cars are no longer on the road 🤣
Sitting in a Coparts somewhere waiting to be picked up for £100! Profit
ouch!
You got time on your hands, saddo
@@AB-hu2uw wow, thanks, such a nice thing to say
@@jordan3405 well at least you could buy the wrecked vehicle for £100 and then sell on any useful parts that may be salvageable (not the engine, as that would be knackered) - before scrapping the shell 😛
There is absolutely no way any insurance company would pay out for the damage these drivers deliberately cause to their cars
Aye. Water table is marked. Hard to argue with that.
I had an Inlaw, entitled and as thick as two planks.
Deep water cost her £5000 for a new, short, engine for her brand new BMW 🤣
Insurance covers stupid. That's why it's so expensive.
@@Tracert-mc1hu not this stupid, reffering to the drivers from this clip
How stupid can you be for thinking insurance doesn't cover that moron
I love how some of these drivers think they can fix the car after they open their hood.
4:05 ahhh the sound of hydrolock... trying to compress water, bending valves, and rods... super smart.
Lol the Velar guy suddenly realising the only real Range Rover part is the badge 🤣
Haha, good one 👍🏼
Was tempted to get one. Not anymore!
that Velar was tall enough to ford this depth, unfortunately it was being driven by someone with more money than brains
Here in America, we have these things called bridges, that bring the road right up over the water. Kind of like what the bystanders are standing on here. One would be very handy in this area I think.
This is like Civ when you invent everything else before bridges
It always amazes me the stupidity of some of these drivers. What do thay thinks going to happen when thay drive in and the waters 💧 over the bonnet 🤔 lol 😆 great vid cheers
Testosterone. Most of the men are bald.
……some folk are literally as thick as 💩💩💩
after watching 30 seconds of this video,
i was supposed to write exactly the same comment 😆
yeah, it seems endless!
Most of them going to fast to
I love how the first guy's demeaner is like this is a perfectly normal every day occurrence that all drivers face.
He does try and front it out!! Even more epic fail than his fording : )
Normal for him maybe.
You mean like he does this every single morning in the way to work?
Drivers/ Boat Captains 😅
thank you Tom Söderlund
Like how the Ejit in the 4x4 at 10:00 charges through, splashing the spectators ... who respond by cheering when he conks-out a few metres further. Then the photographer taking close-ups rubs salt into the wound 😃
She waves the finger and orders you to to turn the phone off! You didn't comply so you must be living in fear now as shes coming to get you! lol
Yea I’m totally shivering in fear 😬😬😂😂
I suppose the answer to that one is " not in that car you ain't"
"You can't park there love!"
Maybe she's going to send the boys around to nail your knees to the floor!
If I was in the 4x4 helping her, I'd untie her, and tell her you're on your own love....
Take note of all these number plates and avoid buying them if you see them come up for sale cheap 😂
The driver was pretty much useless lmfao
today i learnt that given enough stupidity you can actually drown a lifted, purpose-built land rover.
this all could be solved by installing a simple bridge, great lobby work of the local mechanic
I love how the first driver continued to steer even after the car began to float
It must have a rudder at the back!
When your car starts floating is when you know it wasn't a good idea
One should probably already know that when you read that it’s 2ft deep water
Open the doors so that the water can flow through.
@@roadie3124 😂😂😂
I just love the numpty still trying to steer while his car is actually afloat!! Maybe he thinks it magically grew a rudder!!
It's like a spectator sport and intelligence test all in one.
The funny thing is there is an elevated pathway for pedestrians, but there is not one for cars. Is that an scheme settled by the town's mechanics? Anyway, keep up the great work.
I get this is a joke, but for anyone wondering. The river is not deep enough to warrent a bridge being built. There are also many ways around the ford :D
@@callumnegus9906 thanks for the explanation I’ve been wondering why a bridge isn’t built and if there’s an easy detour!
@@ANDYMANcreations Going through Ollerton it's about 3-5 mins extra travel time. People just love hydrolocking theircars it seems.
@@ericpeterson9110 used cars are dirt cheap in England
It's a Ford, its 3 inches deep for most of the year.
All of my car manuals have listed a maximum wading depth. The Disco book even had specific instructions on how to drive through water. People always drive too fast. As a community nurse in Shropshire, I went through lots of fords and floods. I drove into them slowly then whewn the water got to my maximum depth, I reversed out. Otherwise I would pass through. I never had a problem.
yes, the speed is way over the top!
Only a backward person would attempt to drive through that
Don't any of the Land Rover drivers know how to raise the suspension to wading depth? Take their drivers license away...
@@PL-fh8cz
Even if equipped with that feature it wouldn't make any odds driving into the water like that.
@@skylined5534 most of those cars should have made it through if they drove at an appropriate speed
That range rover ended up sounding like George Jetsons flying car
It always amazes me when cars without snorkels attempt to cross basically a river
Love the way they hoof it up the road as far as possible to avoid the inevitable mickey taking 😂
I think James May would refer to each and every one of them «What a pillock» 🤣
The guy in the range rover is the epitome of "the gear no idea"
I had a little cottage not far from there in the late 70s early 80s . From what I remember it's very easy to avoid driving through the ford if the weather is bad ...
The duck casually floating by a stuck car 😂
11:28 that old bill was going after him cos he got through without using the local mechanic 😂
What pricks they definitely done that for the camera it’s a 30 there anyway I would’ve laughed if they’d broken down after putting the lights on
“They made it!?! WE CANNOT HAVE THAT!”
the first white VW Golf is floating and the dude inside keep stearing as he have a boat hahahah
Had a Jeep TJ and all the lads used to take off the little mini air intake snorkel on the airbox to reduce flow restriction. Always thought they were daft doing that given the way we'd cross streams and root in the mud. Probably gives you another 3-6 inches of clearance for crossings like this...assuming you don't fully throttle into them like some of these donuts.
I love it how so many people go in and turn right in to the actual river.
1:56, Tom-Tom: turn right, take the canal 😂
5:45 that land rover does not sound well 😂
"Maybe if I'll just drive fast enough, the water will not flood the air intake"
Still laugh at these.., Epic 😂 love the signature Land/Range Rover death squeal as it it’s dying 😂
It's only the newer JLR Ingenium ones, too. Must have a really speed-dependent serpentine belt tensioner.
@@matthewbowen5841 its water getting in / around the pulleys. Been doing that since the 2.2 dervs.
If the drivers werent morons and drove through at a sensible speed then they’d be fine. Even the Evoque has a wading depth of approx 2ft
