Welcome back to the let me destroy my car channel.
I prefer to think of it as the “I’d rather not take the 10 minute long way round, I’d rather waste even more time by destroying my engine” channel…..not as snappy but 🤔🤷
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂
🎯👌
🤣🤣💪🏼👍🏼
Watching this as a mechanic, hurts. Even if they initially make it through, the amount of damage they do to the poor car is devastating.
He actually thought it would get through at that speed with the bow wave submerging the engine 😂
I was surprised it didn’t make it
Not 😂
WCEH World Championship of Engine Hydrolocking. And today's winner is : White Ford Ranger...
-- Get a Chargehanger.
@@chargehanger wheres my trophy
@@ItsCiarian Trophy is right under the bonnet of the car :)
Nice, peaceful, wholesome, soggy entertainment. Every town should have a Rufford Ford.
OH BOY..... we've got a ford at Brighouse in Calderdale, no where near the scale of "Rufford Ford" but people still banjo their cars into that one as well.
Well done the blue Evoque perfectly done 👍
They drove in up to bonnet level. Do you think they knew their intake wasn't in the front grille? Or was it dumb luck?
@@doctorsatansrobot the intake gets air from the left fender so it wasn’t under water. I doubt they knew though.
I think air intake on an Evoque is on the bonnet. Land Rover are serious about waiding ability, they even fit waterproof starter motors.
The number plate is nw02pub made me laugh
@@theweekthatis shame they're not serious about reliability
“You’d think it would get through” 😂
It’s not a boat ffs 😂
That guy should try thinking a little harder 😄
He used his thinking muscles for that one
Your 4x4 pick up isn’t as rufty tufty as you think😂
Ruh roh. You’re gonna upset the Ranger boys 😂. Let me help upset them more by saying he should have bought a Hilux!
Taxi for Mr Ranger.
Oh it’s the red one floating about behind you
I've seen plenty of Rangers go through there with no issues - though they were being driven rather more cautiously.
The trick is, go slow enough that the water doesn’t come up over the hood.
Loads aren’t even 4x4 either
Need a shot of the big "ROAD CLOSED" sign at the start of these videos to add context.
The Ford Ranger, at the very beginning of the video, could easily have made it - but you have to take it slow, like the Range Rover just afterwards.
Yep, wading depth of 80cn, operator error
Agree, wading depth is 800mm, no reason he couldn't have made it had he drove slower. Big giveaway he was doing it wrong should have been the water going over the top! 🙄
It looks like that Ranger is a bit different, the 3.2 drawers air from the top of the air box, so even if water gets in the box it shouldn't get drawn into the intake unless the water depth is up to that point. If you attempt water that high then you deserve what you get!
It's the first Ranger I've seen succumb to the ford so far, and I watch a lot of these clips!
@@thomasogg6240 The Rangers I know of are sucking cold air through an intake hose below the air box. The air is flowing over the top of the filter, but is stemming from deep below.
Poor Doris (89) bought a retirement home in the quiet area of Rufford Lane. Her quiet garden noises of bird song and leaves rustling, now ruined by people driving full speed through foot deep water, camera wielding youths shouting and cheering. Poor Doris 😔
She can still hear?
Haha she could make money selling hotdogs and coffee to the crowd! 😉
Poor Doris bought a retirement home! Can't be to poor because them things cost a fortune.
@@wexjap it was in the local paper
and the ducks she used to feed got poisoned in the water by the cars.
Wow, so many made it through when it was so deep. Amazing! really like when you show the actual falls. So pretty! Thank you again for a great video.
Mainly Chelsea tractors 🙂
@@paulc180 Mainly those who have gone slow, like they should. Although I still wouldn't risk it, even in high SUV.
Well, many were pick-ups, suv and some prepared 4x4.
Except for the first one, almost everyone forded the right way.
Slow and steady, riding the waves.
@@AppleReviews Not all of them had it, so what's the point of your comment. Also snorkel won't save you from losing your panels when you go full send into the water, lol.
1:24 ah yes an engine, let me take out the filter it will definitely help
There's no stopping the Royal Mail! 👍
Except for a strike
@@Richard_Details LMAO. True dat! 🤣👍
Дорогу Королю! 😄
A GoPro bumper mounted POV shot would be brilliant! (it would really give a diving sub effect, especially at night.) Keep doing what you do!
I did this on a motorbike, attaching it to the centre stand so it got the full effect but at a different ford. Once it goes under water it’s quite a surprise, but possibly the best thing with a bike is seeing all the steam coming off it after
The latest Range Rover group vehicles have sonar and front mounted cameras, so possibly.
I plan : hope to go this weekend in my Range Rover. Will try to accommodate that idea!
i doubt you're gunna see very far in that water.
I wouldn't even attempt that in me Fiesta ST 🤣 I got stuck in a Ford once in North Yorkshire, I learned the hard way 🤣🤣🤣
How to find the right speed.
Once your bumper entered the water shortly brake, and then follow the initial wave you created.
Or go in reverse
@@almilhouse9059 But not if you drive a VW Beetle or Porsche 911 😉
@@gutfeeling3440 they still have intake facing forward i guess
There’s only one way to hit the ford, and that’s foot to the floor, balls to the wall.
I remember taking a work ute over a flooded bridge in remote west Queensland. I was working alone and I could see another guy (random member of the public) on the other side of creek who had made it. He waved me over and I went for it. The water was flowing fast and over the bonnet, but the ute kept it's footing and slowly I made my way other. In hindsight, bad idea, but it would of added several hours to the drive to find another way over. That was a dmax without a snorkel.
Fair dinkum but Sherwood ain´t Queensland, though judging by vehicle choice many locals disagree. Also, let´s say you´re parked in Newark a stone´s throw east of the ford and fancied a bit of Maccie D. Add two (2) minutes to journey down pretty country lane or wreck engine? The mind boggles.
This is probably a puddle compared to what you get down under...
Thanks for also showing how it should be done - well apart from the plonker in the Ford at the start!
I’m coming there this weekend and no I shall not cross it 😄 but definitely looking forward seeing people that would attempt
you sound like Gandalf "you shall not pass" 🙂
@@paulc180 that was my inner Gandalf speaking, you got me there 😄
You know how to cross it so you would be fine as long as you go into the ford slowly and stop to let the bow wave subside before driving on at walking speed.
@@thra5herxb12s thing is I havent driven through that much water and it’s one thing to know it on paper, completely different to have actually done it. As we have seen from a lot of these videos you often times have rather confident people still messing up 😄 nah I just wanna take some nice photos really
I too have considered going to the ford only for spectating purposes however it's a three hour drive each way
Nice to see where the water comes from. Thanks for that. 😊 👍🏻 🇳🇱
The Rufford ford never disappoints😁
it did the day i went
Nothing like these videos after a bad day at work :-)
It's good to see the "Royal Mail" still gets through @3:38!
Keep these coming, really brighten my day
6:05 kids entertainment before bedtime 😂
I really like these end-of-video scenery shots. Would be awesome if you could end every video with one!
Some text book skills shown today. Drive just above walking pace to create a bow wave, reducing the water height in the engine bay.
Not new news.
Its really amazing that these FWs don't even appear embarrassed at their stupidity
I can't stop watching!
I have the same thing. I am a mechanic and a lot crosses my minds watching this😅
@@Hugh.G.Dildeaux I can't believe how foolish they are... Doesn't hydro locking totally destroy the engine?
For giggles, I showed this to my elderly mother. She thought it was all some sort of competition - but no, it's just a procession of stupid.
@@Dave-dn5ew Yep it does. I know how a engine looks like inside after sucking water.. and the electrics..🙃
@@Hugh.G.Dildeaux I have no clue I just can imagine it's really bad. I wonder how much money somebody could make just towing them out of the Ford like if I just sat there with a tow truck how much money would I make
The combined I.Q. of 1lb of carrots.
That's an insult to carrots! 😄 They have a much higher I.Q. than this lot...and they can cope with a dip in water!
I just don't know why people think their cars are waterproof!! mind you it gives us something to laugh about. Keep filming boys !! :)
the air intake is directly above the wheel arch next to the indicator on range / landrovers so they can drive through no problem
The reason why that ranger stalled is because it has the newer designed airbox which gets air in front instead of the old 2.2 and 3.2 engines that gets air in the fenders.
Brand new 22 reg also. There seems to be many new cars which break
That is so cool. Thank you.
Like the shots of the spillway!
0:04 Ford Ranger has a wading depth of 800mm. If the driver took it easy he would have successfully crossed.
although the depth of the water is closer to 1meter, which is MORE than 800mm. I wouldn't cross that unless I have a snorkel fitted or in a REAL emergency.
@@omegabulldog5001 Agree, I wouldn’t have risked it either, particularly when I read in the comments that the alternative route isn’t that time consuming. I still think he could have made it if he drove slower, but we’ll never know.
I could bet that is a 2.2 TDI or a 2.0 biturbo engine....the 3.2 the intake is inside the wheel arch....more safer. The other engines the intake is above the radiator looking forward....ideal for sucking water
The farmer a bit further kept the stream clean, but since you threaten them there is more water!
Everything for the likes.
Beautiful bow wave on the range
how to replace the grease in your prop shafts with water and grit.
I wonder why no one tries reversing through it, the back of the car would push water out the way, the water would be much lower around the engine/intake
It would make more sense to just not drive through it.
Hi Tom, you should do another livestream while rufford is still this deep, I reckon it will be some good fun
When that wood hand rail rots away they should make new one out of melted down plastic that came from the mountain of spares & number plates!
That red tractor is always going through. Must be the cleanest tractor up there.
The guy the blue vehicle knew exactly what he was doing
Hi,
Great video nice shots!👍
HPI checks need a new category for _"Seen on CZcams driving through Rufford Ford?"_ Videos much better without the t*** in the blue Defender.
What did you censor
@@trumptookthevaccine1679 Rhymes with 'cat'.
@@hughn "mat" does not start with "t". :)
RR Sport...wow indeed...
i love the background sound of accelarating wounded veichles.......:D
1:57 I nominate this driver for the best most skilled crossing so far that I’ve seen. Could’ve gone just a hair slower to stay behind the bow wave but it was so careful and skilled.
That was masterful🙌🏼
range rover at 5:45 was better
@@stufoo I agree. I commented too soon!!
Or with reverse i think? If you go with reverse will stall?
I see the local garage have booked there summer holidays again in the Bahamas for 3 months 🤔 and the local car wash has closed down 😳
Looks like not many wanted to come out to film at Rufford Ford today lol
Need to open a pub there.
Never disappoints
3:37 "Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night (nor flooded rivers, apparently) stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."
Hello from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Hi Sydney. How's Sydney.
I wonder if these people driving into the flood watch your videos
The Evoque shows you how to do it. Creating that wave is the main idea in deep water, instead of flying in at high speed and having the water splash up to the windsield.
What you don't see is the deluge when he opens the door later.
@@fubartotale3389 I've been in vehicles in deep water, they usually don't leak in unless you are forced to stop. But that's just my experience, I'm open to other ideas.
@@gpaje good for you.
@@fubartotale3389 he's right it doesn't unless you stop .
How embarrassing for the Ranger especially when two pickups with lower wading depth (L200 and Navara) made it through.
I'm amazed at how happy the drivers are after wrecking their engine
I want to see more of the farmer. The only one with common sense
Greethings from Poland
Well boys get your cameras ready. Another one moving over this afternoon!
Lovely shot of the weir or whatever that would be classed as up stream of the Ford.
I've gotta say there's been a few Range Rover Evoques in the past few videos and they all make it through regardless of technique, just goes to show there's at least a bit of good off road design in there somewhere.
And it means all the hairdresser's won't be late for work.
@@theimbiber In times of high water, crossing the ford to go hairdressing becomes a revolutionary act.
I’ve driven thousands of kilometres in outback Australia and I’ll let you in on something Range Rovers don have off road design. They have high street design. Big car for little d$&ks or little chicks.
A paved road with water over it isn’t off road.
If I saw a Rover in FFNQ it would probably be engine swapped..
@@MussaKZN mate I'm not for a moment suggesting you take one into the outback, I'm saying it clearly has more off-road capability than your run of the mill school run SUV, I've seen them go decently off-road and paired with that wading depth I'm impressed.
@@MussaKZN budgie smuggler
Thank you very much for continue filming ❤👍 the angry neighbor should better sell coffee and hotdogs!
Even if you do make it through if the water gets soaked into the carpet mmmm.... magic trees get your magic trees here.
Local garage must be loving it
how bad is this for the engine? spark plugs out and crank till the water is out? or what is the best solution?
a friend told me about this channel. he lives there in area. amazing how many made it through this water. here in US people do it as well and yeah most dont make it,lol
Those Ford rangers struggle not break down in normal conditions , what on earth was the lad thinking ?
This is amazing content 😂👌🏻
Пора уже продавать лицензии на это ТВ шоу, в каждой стране должен быть свой такой вот Дип Флуд! Со смотровой площадкой для видеоблогеров!
What really makes me shout at the screen, is when the water goes above the front grill. You know that is the point of no return. What i would like to ask, is there always someone there to help with pushing and repairs?
its called business plan.
I wonder how many that do get through still end up with water in the cabin.
Unbelievable how they risk ruining an expensive vehicle ... Even if they do get them running, the vehicle will never be the same.
im not from UK, can anyone explain why this is still a thing? do you get paid insurance money after this? and why not a normal bridge?
I kinda actually want to fly over to the UK and visit now. When is a good time to visit and watch?
British weather is unpredictable but October/November is usually quite wet or March/April.
Those who go slow, have common sense, but I still don't get why city council or locals won't just raise the area so it wouldn't get flooded? or build a bridge over it, so water could be underneath, do they keep this like that on purpose as local attraction?
Money.
Coz it’s classed side road, not an A B or even C road. If people are stupid enough, it’s literally their own fault. The Highway Code does say NOT to enter flood water.
The great British NIMBY. Not in my back yard. You can't build a thing without some anusol user complaining and objecting.
You would think some people would think my car is not a boat 😂😂
Water...... More speed more power..... I always say this in a Jeremy Clarkson voice in my head..... I don't know why😂
The first guy in the white pickup seemed remarkably cheerful , all things considered.
I don't think he understood the expense he had just incurred. Back in the day old cars just got wet electrics which you could dry, then off you go.
Probably not his car.
@@tobychristian4741 yeah back in the old days cars didn’t need air to run, combustion wasn’t even invented and hydrolocking was unheard of
Good one Tom! Does everybody driving through the ford own a Range Rover....they are 94,000 + quid!
Top tip if it's been raining it's likely to be deeper 😀😃😀
Ford ranger guy "you think it would get through" 🤔🤔 well driver error just wrecked a nice truck going too fast......... and smiling and laughing about it 🤔
Probably his employers so he dosn't care.
@@paulag7634 yes but now hes unemployed 🤣
Was that a JDM Escudo? Don't UK Vitaras have their rear lights on the bumpers?
No, it's a UK car the later ones after around 1998 move the lights into the higher position.
Slow and steady wins the race.😁
4:42 - That brake warping was more express then a noodle on a microwave. You can hear the water boiling. lol
Please, do a special video with all the Land Rover Discovery 3/4. So I can show my wife's why I've spent so much on a car 😂😂 . Anyway, land rovers and range rovers(apart from that blue defender😜 never, never never got stuck. 💪🏻💪🏻
I'm going there next week in my Zafira but with a plow in front.
That little Evoque proving suvs and trucks can totally pass that if they dont screw around
I can't watch this anymore. 😢
Did he take the plugs out of it and crank the engine to get the water out?
I like how the smallest cars are the only one suitable for the job!!
all BMW are sunk and out
4:38 Time to take a pause to cool those breaks!
Can hot engine and cold water make damage to the engine block ? I know you can warp hot brake rotors.
No the water gets sucked into the engine through the airtake and because you cant compress water it causes hydrolock therefore knackering the engine
@@WoodyBoy1992 Yea i know this, you can bent rods. Im talkin about thermal shock on hot engine/exhaust manifold caused by cold water.
edit: found info on web.... If the cylinder block is made of cast iron, and you pour cold water on over heated engines, there are possibilities of producing cracks on blocks.
Screw or bolt your number plates
I forded Rufford Ford in a Ford once. It was rough fording.
Those ford ranger at this generation have air inlet facing forwad. Then after 2015 model it's back to inside right side front quarter panel.
So is this a thing were it floods all the time or is this like a water drainage issue?
It’s a river that crosses a road, it’s been like that for a lifetime. The big yellow ruler at the edge shows the water depth. In warmer weather at low water level, almost every car will get through. After rain, it’s naturally much deeper, so just turn round & go the long way round! It’s really simple!
