Land Rovers have exceptionally good wading depth compared to most vehicles, but even so you can still hydro-lock them if you go barrelling into deep water like that. It wasn't a vehicle fail, it was a driver fail ...like most of them in the video.
Everyone knew that was going to happen to the Audi at 03:53 the moment she pummelled it in to the water. Well, when I say everyone, the driver obviously didn't.
It's a deepfake, you can tell it's not a real Audi because it indicated at the junction.
Another Useless Driver Inside….
in the first clip i would say if he went slower it would have been fine that was driver error
That goes for most of them!
@@highdownmartin agreed but the disco 2 has the ecu behind the os headlight.
There is/was advice in the drivers handbook for driving through deep water, including wading depths and the speed to use.
@@highdownmartin The first guy didn't build a bow wave, a couple of the more successful drivers did. The air intake in the early disco was high up in the wheel arch void, so a bow wave would have helped greatly.
TD5 ECUs don’t like being splashed with water.
Far too much speed on the red discovery. Bloody shame as that looked a really nice tidy Disco!
He looks like a country type so really should have known better. Won't be worth repairing the engine a car that age so it'll be off to the scrap yard. Shame.
@@neilrobertson811 well you never know. I’ve got a 2001 in the same colour which we’ve owned from new and we won’t ever be getting rid of it!
If the engine in ours goes I’ll be putting another one in and doing what I can to keep her on the road. 203,000 and 23 years old and never been welded..
@@PillSharks If a car has more sentimental value than monetary then I guess you'll do whatever you have to to keep it on the road and if you can fix it yourself then even better. But most of us don't have the skills or money to do that so if its scrap then its collect the insurance money and get something else.
Amazed that Yaris kept going after being hammered through like that!
All depends on where the air intake is located.
Yea, ditto the Megane in the tunnel.
The Toyotas seem to fair better.
Apparently Toyotas don't care..
That blue Audi sounded a bit rough 😂😂
Perhaps driving through floodwater should become part of the theory test for learner drivers since so few drivers seem to have the slightest clue how it should be done. If you allow water to to come over the top of the bonnet having first covered the grille which is where induction air is most likely to enter the filter you are asking for trouble in the form of a hydro locked engine. Water is non-compressible so connecting rods will bend or break or in the case of one we had through the workshop last week, 2 huge holes in the cylinder block.
Ideally it shouldn’t be done to begin with. Most cars the air intake is behind the bumper at the bottom of the wheel arches.
Basic maintenance and car mechanics should be part of the theory test
The height of the air intake varies enormously between different models and even between different engines on the same model. Unless the road is flooded, drivers have no reason to know where it is on their car, so most don't know.@@trainman665
That white Disco 😂
Great video Ben. Top marks for the land rover guy just getting out. Far to many people sit in there car and wait for someone else to do the work. 😂
top marks for being a clown in the first place, he should know better, big bill !
@@petersmith4455 Big bill on a Disco 2? Not if you know how to wield a spanner.
Oh noooo!!!!....not the TD5 Discovery!
Sure hope she gets the love and restoration she deserves, spare TD5s are quite plentiful
8:00 the Boxing day Geddington squirt!!! We had the privilege of having Queen Eleanor ( the vintage fire engine) as our wedding vehicle when we were married at Mary Magdalen church there. Certainly a unique way of getting to the reception!😂
I’m amazed at the speed they enter the flood in
Perhaps a diving board for those adventurous drivers.
you should enter fast as it displaces more of the water
@@greentroll9326
You should not enter as fast as that. You only need to enter fast enough to create a small bow wave.
The driver in the red discovery entered so fast that the water immersed the entire bonnet and hit the windscreen. The air-intake is at the top of the engine bay, whereas the water level at stationary doesn't even reach the top of the wheels.
Massive drive error. Lack of experience.
2:06 so many people do this exact dumb thing in lots of flood/ford videos: they creep up to the edge of the water very slowly, but then speed forward INTO the water, creating a big wave that floods the engine.
That BMW sounded like he was going for it until he spotted the cops 😂
It's why it's called a Land Rover not a River Rover. 😂
😂😂😂😂 touché
Love that classic Fire Engine :)
Even the iPace, with no air intake to flood, took it so fast that the number plate was ripped off.
Water at 10 mph will exert the same force as air at 290 mph, and somewhere over 5 times the force that air would exert at the maximum speed of the vehicle.
That's the least of his worries now his battery is flooded, probably insurance write off, mad to do that with a EV, pity the next owner if it survives that long.
@@Ifitwerks I think that the batteries are sealed. I don't know how well that works, but there is normally no way in for water.
I often take a torch underwater when diving. That's usually fine for a sealed diving torch.
5:13 you can so tell the BMW driver was drive through there at warp speed and then spptted the police car and drove through sensibly!!!! 😂😂😂
Most just need to go slower. Great video you get the right places all the time!
The idiocy of the human..a never ending source of amazement...
NUCARE white transit got it just right 👍🏻👍🏻..thanks for sharing Ben 👏🏻👏🏻
you say that but do you really want bandages and medical supplies that have been through flood water? Hopefully whatever they had in the back wasn't sitting in cardboard boxes on the floor.
Yaris drivers always seem intent on hitting water that hard it's almost airbag deploy time.
Loving the old fire engine at the end!
The numberplate came off that electric services pick up truck .... 😂
The bonus to creating a bow wave is that it makes you look majestic while you cross.
The depth looked to be just under 700mm - that's the wading limit of a Discovery 3 and 4 and similar Land Rovers.
The Disco5 and the new Defender can wade up to 900mm.
Not sure about a Disco 1 and 2 - I think they need a snorkel to do that depth.
The rule - know your vehicle's wading depth and never enter water if it indicates higher, or are not sure - and - enter slowly and proceed smoothly. Creating a slpash can cause water to enter the air intake even if it is below the wading depth.
Hey Ben great update and compilation hope you and family had an amazing Xmas and great 2024 in 3 days
Why the heck do some of them drive in so fast? I think the lorry drivers think they're safe because they're so high up, but they're not. I think the top tip here would be to know how high up on the engine your air intake is.
Because they don't understand what an aspirated engine is.
What a great advertisement for the NEW Landrover Defender ✨
These videos never become boring, simply because people are stupid !.
Surprised the red disco died. I’ve had water over the bonnet before in mine (same colour too!) and it’s been fine. Might just be a clogged up air filter rather than hydro locked.
I’ve driven though 3 feet deep water, very slowly so that the engine didn’t take in water, but afterwards I had multiple problems. Water entered my gearbox differential, and it used to make a grinding sound. When I did hard left or right turns I had to also replace the tensioner pulley, bearing as that became loud, then had other issues with the engine. It sounded like a grinding noise at the lower part of the engine, so when more gets into areas it’s not meant to even if a car looks fine and it drives out okay you still have long-term problems with bearings where the engines won’t designed to have direct contact with water
Yes,water deeper than the centre of the wheels can fk the bearings and like you say many components will suffer not long after water ingress.
Few sweeter sights than that AUDI spitting out white smoke....
Mate you are getting around the country! Nice to see you over Trescott way!
Great location watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Only no crocs here!
Unlike all the other clueless SUV drivers... at least the old boy at the start was prepared and happy to get his feet wet
4:26 that Audi sounded bad like it was just holding on for life
Oh such amazing buffoonery…….! 😂
The Geddington one at the end clip is high AF and fast flowing currently
The very least most of those that went through fast would need is a new air filter! I went through some not too deep water once, the engine was very rough after I struggled through. The filter was effectively blocked when wet! If I had realised the intake was so low I would have ripped it off beforehand! The intake on the next car I had was designed to suck the water straight from the bow wave!🙄
Yaris was in a hurry 😂
First clip should have know better. That’s another thing Uncle Albert has now managed to sink 😂
Happy New Year Ben! (Awh, where was the Fire Services playing with the barrel, that looks great fun!)
It’s at Geddington squirt, a local Boxing Day tradition 😊
Very neat.....Happy New Year to you as well! @@RebeccaDixon
@@jonclassical2024Happy New Year to you too 😊
Great Vid Ben 👍
The people who know what they’re doing enter slowly and build a bow wave. The others take the Jeremy Clarkson approach (“POWER!”).
Hello BENGREGERS! I present to you my Best Wishes for this Year 2024. May it be synonymous for yourself as well as for those who are dear to you, of health, joy, happiness and prosperity!
Thank you very much 😊. I wish the same upon yourself 🎉🙌🏼
Yes Ben, awesome video
Гидроудар? - Нет, не слышал.
I love these videos
I can honestly say that even though these videos seem to be designed to make people laugh and point at stupid people. They do seem to be having an effect on people.
I was out working in Sandbach a few weeks ago when a couple of people stopped and told me "I've seen what happens when these drive through that, I'm going to turn around."
Fair play to them.
So not only are you entertainment, you're now a public service.
Never ending madness.
Hahahahaha a shitbox towing a shitbox.😂
1:21 V84 MCF, 24 year old vehicle taxed until 1st December 2024 and MOT until 1st December 2024. Last logbook issued 27th April 2022. And now utterly fubared. Good job.
in the first clip that defender looks unusually high
They can raise 13 inch off the ground I think
That’s because it’s in wade mode. Extends the air suspension. Discovery does it too. But not for wading just “extended”
Even a Land Rover will fail if you drive too dam fast through water.
If your engine sucks in the water game over, you have an expensive live learning learning experience
👌what colour is the 2024 110 ? thanks
The driver at time 7:30 seems to be the only one who knows how to safely navigate in flooded waters. Gently and slowly to the end at constant speed.
You can tell the privately owned cars to the works owned ones.... private owners drive through with some kinda care, works..... nah druve through like you're on a Rally Stage and deal with the consequences when i goes wrong and you have to phone the boss and tell him you've just f**ked his truck/ van!! 😂😂
Nice! What were all the firemen and other people doing there?
I guess it's some sort of parade or display, given the absolutely beautiful vintage fire truck and what seemed to be a rope pulling game but with a barrel and water hoses (sorry for my english, not my first language)
It’s a local Boxing Day tradition in the village of Geddington 😊
This should be Drivers versus Floods. Some of these cars shouldn't be stuck at all.
В такой ситуации лучше немного постоять на суше. Чтобы остыли коллектора, колодки. Убедившись что глубина брода позволительна для вашего авто, можно начать движение. Но ни в коем случае не гнать волну. Потому что это сразу увеличит уровень, и приведет к аварии.
Absolute sausage level driving from the landrover disco!
The Land rover didn't fail, the driver did. He obviously has no idea. The Land rover could have got through there easy.
2:40 Cats DISLIKE water.
2:47 front license plate???
1st clip....oh look 2 islanders operating Indian Tata technology...oh these islanders are such fun to watch ...oh lots of Tatas here ...
He drove that red Disco through too fast considering he hadn't even a good quality snorkel fitted. ...Slow , he would have got away with it.
Probably a V8 petrol. They break down because they can without any excuse. Considering all those discoverys let water into the cabin even on a dry day, I do question the sanity of anyone who would even think that attempting driving through 3 feet of water was a good idea.
@sisyphussapprentice8976 TD5, says it right on the back.
@@Rover200Power Fair enough. The eyesight struggles now. Age thing.
Hope she makes a full recovery, this generation of Disco is my personal favourite and it really hurts to see one in this state
@@lukedavis436 I agree. I drive an 03 facelift td5 and wouldn't swap it for anything else to be honest, despite its little reliability foibles. One of the few vehicles I can get in and out of without bending double. But she doesn't go where she shouldn't, just because she can
Captain Birds Eye sank the discovery
If I was their insurance company I would refuse to pay out due to stupidity
According to BABVVO and TEBBVO lawes sadly soon all combustion vehicles will be illegal in EU and USA!!!!
Bill Oddie drives a Land Rover haha
"Free recovery" no wonder they're all in a hurry to go in and wreck their car
0:15 i've been wondering what Red Green is up to these days
Disco 2 should have made it, like the Disco 1 towards the end, he just needed to slow down. Could have been wet electrics rather than hydrolocked though, Td5 needs electronics, 300Tdi is all mechanical.
I can't wheelie a mountain bike anymore either.
First chap - went in too fast causing the front of his vehicle to be swamped and breach the air intake. Had he entered slowly and progressively he would have been OK. The guy in the other Discovery just before the Firebrigade got it spot on. He obviously had experience. Never charge into water like that. Creep in slowly and then accelerate gently until you have a bit of a bow wave, all the while keeping an eye on the bonnet going under and ready to stop. Ideally you should a) have checked the depth by watching other vehicles b) have a wading kit.
To do a crossing like this you need to know where you air intake is and NOT attempt it if it is lower than the water. Most the other vehicles that made through (including the police car) managed by pure luck that their car did not ingest water. The ones that failed all had “hydrauliced” engines. Even the council lorry thought he was invincible but wasn’t.
Land Rover not Water Rover🤦🏽♂️
💚
If you don't know how to drive through flood water or you don't own a snorkel on your vehicle, why would you even risk it? An engine rebuild is not cheap.
Was that Edward J. Smith at the helm of the first Land Rover?
Copper stop to 'have a word'
How to completely bugger up a car in 30 seconds .
Unbelievable.
The old grey mare ain't what she used to be.
Never put a tow rope on a towball!
RandLovel I love randlovels
Is that your F-Pace Ben?
I never understood the point in this. Most of these cars total out when flooded. What’s the point? I’m sure insurance in this country is wildly expensive!
Land Rover failing so badly...🤣🤣🤣🤣 Land Cruiser all the way.
Tidy maroon Disco 2-shame that's it's been ruined by totally inept attempt to go through excessively deep water. Chassis box sections etc all full of water-definitely not good for long term keeping corrosion at bay. Yes,they will go through deep water,but correct technique is very important,but beyond a certain point,why put a perfectly good vehicle at risk?
You'd think the environmental tanker driver would know better.
Professional driver, although a quick drive on a motorway will make you realise that professional means Jack Shit.
Dealing with flooding is probably part of his job.
But no, thick as shit, and if I was the boss of that company, I would certainly have a case of negligence against him.
3 folk died trying to cross a Ford on Rake Lane, why are people attempting in shit conditions
The burgundy land-rover that was the drivers fault driving through it too quickly
TD5’s don’t love water. Probably got to the ECU. ( This due to the fact he went too quick )
Just a wee bit slower entering the water
I was just wondering if these drivers all live on 🔕 Bell End Road ?🤔😉🤣🤣
They're in cloud cuckoo land.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had no idea people in the UK were so rich they could buy cars and throw them away like cigarettes.
😁😆😅😂🤣👍👍👍
Poor old man driving skills on land rover discovery II
The first one should have known better at his age, even in a land rover I would not try to go through this, sheer stupidity
Ive heard that Landrovers can't drive across the Atlantic. Bit crap that if I'm honest.
