I will never understand why so many drivers just dont seem to care about causing so much damage to their vehicles
They must be rich and dont need to care
Right answer is that they dont know how cars work.
they just dont know how to drive in the deep water.
"Av got WARRANTY " LMFAO. that's what they say and think.
Same, I'd imagine insurance would be a nightmare trying to claim as well.
Apart from your house, your vehicle is probably the most expensive thing that your going to buy. It amazes me how people will risk either a major engine rebuild, or a brand new engine, plus the labour, plus the VAT, just to save a little bit of time, on a small detour 😂
Even a 50 mile detour is a better better option than risk needing an engine rebuild
It amazes me how people really care about other people's cars. Unlike you, I don't care about their cars.
They’re trying to be cool. Or “the tough guy”
Some of them are with company vans and the are obviously not paid for taking that risk...
If the Edward's roofing driver had phoned for free advice they would have advised him not to attempt the crossing.
Eddie should of stayed on the roof 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉
People should call the number on the side of his van and keep getting updates about his engine, technically that is checkatrade 🤣🤣🤣
@@akusa82I had my own business years ago, with my number on my van, I can’t tell you how many crank calls I had because of it. One that I remember was I went to BnQ once, phone rang, some lad on the other end asked if I’d pick up some fallopian tubing while I was in there 😂😂😂
@Dan23_7 as a business owner my self I experience that too with my number being online too, people call and prank me aswell but if they don't call on private I call them back all night on private and make their life hell 🤣🤣🤣
@@Dan23_7Haha, the old ones are the best!😂
4:50 That hard hydro lock made me OOF in real life.
The VW van was not even up to number plate water depth when stopped so the fact he was going too fast is hilarious 😂
Still boggles my mind that people would willing drive into most of these.
If they just went slower it wouldn't be a problem in most cases.
.
@@heyabusa1 so true, I've driven through deeper than this in an e46 with no issues, you just have to not be an idiot.
Me too. I wouldn't take my old Defender in to many of the depths you see mindless people driving their cars into.
Thing is, even if you take it nice and slow and do everything right to avoid taking water into the engine, you've still got the scummy water coming in to the car and soaking into the carpets etc. Why would you want that? Do the 5 minute detour instead.
@@brianhoskins1979 how bad are your seals that you take on water during a 10 second crossing? do you get a free shower from the sunroof whenever it rains?
@@JustOneQuestion I think in deep water all cars will take on water even in a 10 second crossing. 10 seconds is quite a long time to be submerged, and the seals are not designed for that.
Of course, in the Land Rover the seals are next to useless anyway. But fortunately I don't have a sunroof.
I love the sound of someone trying to start a hydraulically locked engine ❤❤❤
Sad person
😆😆😆😆😆
They always miss that "thump" sound. They figure that if they just try harder, everything will work out. It will work out, it will lead to severely bent con rods.
If you look at where the water sits once that first bmw is stopped, he’d have been absolutely fine if he’d crept through it! Always wonder why folk don’t realise that! 🤦🏼♂️
Nononononono! Slowly going in and then POWEEERRRRRR
The people who drive these cars think that the instant they turn the key in the ignition, magic just happens and car goes.
@@88manta88 nah cos as soon as you start to speed up the water just lifts up to the engine bay then intake some water and it’s game over! Slowly all the way
@@B88_f Absolutely! I was just writing what in these peoples' heads is going on, because they usually go veeeery slowly in and then floor it. Absolutely stupid.
@@88manta88 ah right I get ya mate 👍🏻
Not just a driver but a BMW driver.
Yep, arrogant to the end! 😂
These videos never get old.
3:32 it's amazing that someone would think that the problem is that the wet air filter does not let the air through, not that the water got into the cylinders from the flooded air filter.
At least they could have tested the hypothesis by trying to start the engine with the air filter removed.
Wouldn’t want to test that theory if it was my car
There is always a BMW stuck under Churchill Bridge 🤣 I grew up in Thurmaston. It has been that way since the 90s
And still they can't help themselves.....like lambs to the slaughter
Ever so true.... like no brain of their own.... you’ld expect one to,at least,have considered and studied the risk of crossing water.....
If the engine swallows water IT IS GONNA BE EXPENSIVE!!!!!
It shows how many drivers don't have a clue where their air intake is on their cars and what happens when water enters this intake.
I despair for a lot of humans
I feel thank the majority don't realise cars use the air.
On most of the cars electronics would fail much earlier.
An RAC Man told me many years ago that BMWs in particular are at increased risk due to the low position of their air intakes .
He can't have known much about cars then - for many, many years (I haven't played with anything super modern yet) the air intake is at the top of the grill.
I love how they lift the bonnet on their vehicles and THINK they are going to be able to fix the damage they have done at 03:16 in this video
😂🤣😅😆😆😅🤣😂
Actually they may get lucky. If they remove the spark plugs and use the starter to blow the cylinders dry they may, may be okay. The motor may not make enough vacuum to really flood the cylinders but may get enough water vapour to short the plugs without causing terminal damage.
The chap with the silver Landrover discovery must make a fortune pulling idiots out of the water
Calling people idiots means you're wishing death on them. I love how people care about other stranger's cars.
@@automation7295 I love how you care about people caring about other peoples cars
@@automation7295 calling people idiots = wishing death, the absolute leap in mental logic could soar entire cities
The U.K. Offshore Power Boat circus held an event in my home town years ago (think F1 on the water) and they all turned up towing their very expensive race boats being fancy American 4X4s. In the week that they were there one of the local farmers made a fair bit of cash towing the boats and the tow cars out of the water. The usual failure was to reverse the boat trailer down the steep slipway into the water to recover the boat leaving the tow-car with its rear wheels just in the water. They would then floor the throttle, the four wheels would spin on the aptly named ‘slip’way and the car and trailer slid downhill into the water. Chris turned up in his Series 1 Land Rover and calmly pulled them out. What was strange was that the other drivers did not seem to learn anything from the experience, they seemed to think that full power was the only way. The most interesting thing about the whole week was that Donald Campbell’s daughter was one of the competitors.
@@automation7295I watched the video to see the fools. I actually hate watching the damage they are doing to the cars. I’m sorry if you think that I’m strange but I would rather have that mechanical sympathy.
“ Hi I knew I find you here “ 04:50 instant 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
AA guy definately knows his stuff trying to turn over a flooded engine 😂
😀 They just have to Tick The Box on 'tried to get vehicle moving' to get their Callout Payment. The sad thing is the customer would actually complain if the AA person did not carry out the actions which will wreck their engine ...
@@alfnoakes392yeah, but it's not that hard to pull the spark plugs out and THEN crank it.
Hell, a new air filter and cranking it with the plugs out may even be all that's required.
Unless you tried cranking it a few times whilst still hydrolocked...
@@35manning you might have a little chance to start the engine with the plugs out, but remember that the engine was hydrolocked....
@@joskd8491 umm, you'll have ZERO chance of stating the engine with the plugs out.
You'll have zero compression and zero spark.
You need to get the water out first, preferably spray in some WD40 and then reinstall the plugs.
Honestly, what sort of idiot do you think I am?
Also, hydrolocked does not mean damaged.
Some of these cars being driven the way they are, there is very likely some damage and for at least one of the vehicles I watched, likely pretty severe damage.
But you won't know until you diagnose it.
And step one is get the water out and crank it.
@@35manning I think you misunderstood my comment, it was a little short .I'm dutch, so English is not my native language. I meant that starting without the plugs is to remove the water out of the combustion chambers, and after that, after checking the airbox, put the plugs back in and try to start it. Maybe one might be lucky. But a hydrolocked engine is almost certain pretty damaged (damaged valves, bent rods, things of that nature) so I don't think this BMW will ever run without a new or rebuilt engine. I think it will cost the owner about 10k Euro's. Price for stupidity
For anyone wondering repair costs for some: 2018 BMW 118d hydro locked and recovered via dragging not lifting is a £28,000 repair bill from BMW.
Hydro locking destroys compression components in the engine, conrods etc and dragging destroys the gearbox and diff.
The gearbox / diff aren't going to be damaged by dragging it a few feet with wet tyres. However depending on the water level they are at risk of water getting inside and ruining the components.
The shear amount of bmw’s highlights the mindset of the bmw driver
They never learn do they. At least we're all having a good laugh at their expense 🤣
To all the cabbages out there, gases compress but liquids don't so just drying the engine out won't straighten your con rods. Special shout to the BMW drivers for confirming what we think
to all
pistons do not compress water, they will bend faster than remove water from the cylinder ;)
Usually the con rods that bend. Pistons, if they do break will usually end up with a hole in them.
What’s more worrying
Is that these people drive on public roads😊😊😊😊
well...not anymore with their cars FUBAR
There is a ford near me and despite there being a measure up showing how deep it is, you often see people try to drive through just like these people. Personally I wouldn't attempt driving through any more than 6inches of water and even then, very slowly
you know something i live in a place called Sunderland point it's near Heysham anyway we have a causeway we have to drive down and the amount of people that try and drive down it when the tide is coming in yeah their bloody daft
What do they say about stupidity?😮
Do BMW care have to be taken to water for a drink like cattle?.
If i was in insurance i would never pay out its like driving into a fire 🔥
That’s an excellent point
They wont@@GavinScrimgeour
Yep, some people should stick to driving office chairs 🤦♂️😆
in cases like these insurance doesn't cover you any way. it's akin to driving into a wall. If you damage your car on purpose your insurance will not pay you out
Sadly, some insurers do pay out for this sort of thing as their policy wordings don’t always differentiate between avoidable and unavoidable flood damage.
1:17 mug that wanted to see his face on the video 😂
I have tried and tried to understand why drivers of obviously expensive vehicles ruin them driving into fords or floods! Perhaps I am missing something, or is it a case of “I’m minted so I can do this”.
Nope, still doesn’t make sense!
I think they just want an upgrade through their insurance.
I love how they torture the transmission....with the elec emerging brake. 😂
Must feel like black friday for the local mechanics.
Zero insurance payout for those idiots required.
When you see a green MX-5 on the other side of the ford you know you’re in trouble 🤣
What gets me, and I have to try and sort a lot of this sort of stuff, is that these people then proceed to say what a POS the car is that it’s done this - it was only a puddle etc. Common sense has gone from this country completely
besides the stupidity of going into something so deep, some could have made it if they just went slower. They literally created waves for themselves to drive through. its like they wanted to drown the engine
Bmw drivers not so smug now...😅😅
mostly BMW drivers, not as good as they though they were, still - it tops up the indicator fluid 😂
Complete tools as always
It's called an air filter not a water filter...
Lmfao "I can't believe that", what do you expect when you drive through a ford like a 🛎🔚
you could hear the black ford hydro locking
This must be the latest sport of UK. The folks in the hood totally enjoy it.
Assuming you car manages to make it through without getting hydro locked, the amount of damage you’re doing to your undercarriage, engine bay, you would think that was enough to say “I’ll go the 5 min longer route 😂
That black car at 5.00. Classic.
Kerchonk
"But they said its offroad car!"
Never said it's a submarine though.
@@bertiesworldMany are off road, because they are floating!!
These fords are the gift that keeps on giving!!
The Ultimate Drinking Machine
iknow humanity is pretty stupid overall but it just baffles me as to why you would even attempt it
I hope their insurance companies laugh at their claim. Self inflicted damage.
Вода не сжимается, гидроудар обеспечен!!!😂
That focus that hit the water hard and bounced back!! Idiot water taken in, incompressible and bent the rods I'd imagine. 😂
The BMW driver being given birth to was comical 😂
No wonder insurance is skyrocketing
The cocky ones that manage to get through only to stop a few metres away are the best 😂
That focus should of been fine -It had a flashing light on the roof .
This guys are incredible. They are good swimmers,,,for the splash
Sums up most motorists mentality, "nothing and no one must get in my way when Im behind the wheel"!!
People have no idea of their wading depth. Not always easy to find, but for example, I think the 5 Series going under the railway bridge has a wading depth of about 20-25cm, and the depth gauge was showing 50cm (which is the wading depth of my VW Amarok)
1:52
"Come on Beemer, be clean" :D
I won’t be using that roofing company lol. 😂😂😂
"What do you mean my engine needs air?
That is OUTRAGEOUS! The dealer never told me that."
5:28 Well I found why the guy stood on the bonnet, but there is now a visible dent on the bonnet. Guess the driver knew his car was totalled anyways.😅
Imagine these people, having had an engine or the whole car replaced, will just go "Oh well. Lesson learnt. I didn´t drive into the water fast enough".
That smile on my face when those is expensive SUVs stuck in the middle :) :) :)
Some people just need to learn the hard way
Thanks to your videos, I now know what to expect when driving through a deeper than average puddle.
Since the extreme rain, Bristol has many roads which experience flooded roads which could so easily disable a car.
It's about time, all drivers learn the limitations of their vehicles, especially since most of us can't afford to lose our vehicles.
Take it from experience “ never ever drive through water, you will knacker your engine, drive the long way.
Totalled, totalled - and totalled. Congrats!
Hydro-locked with maybe a broken connecting rod.$$$$$$$$$$$$
I did it in a transit van many moons ago, (got called out in the middle of the night - no water gauge showing the depth though). Ended up with a bent conrod. The company decided on a new engine. As you say costs ££££££. I'd always assumed on a big van the air intake would quite high. 😂 It turned out it was no higher than the top of the wheels. Needless to say, over the years, the first thing I find out on any new car I've had is where the air intake is.
You all right there ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
BMW…..Big Minge Wheels…😂
Big Money Waste
@@jdmguy44 …👍👍👍👍👍
You can hear the cars hydro locking , real bang 😬
Hydrolock is your friend, 100% knackered engine.
Very nice "commercials" for BMWs
CoPart is going to be full of Cat B flood damaged vehicles. I wonder how many insurance claims are refused for destroyed engines full of water.
I take it that it is the first time many of them have encountered a ford or a flood. In many cases they'd have got through albeit taking a risk if they had just gone steady.
I hope the insurance companies don't pay out for stupidity
That old Td5’s😊 doing a roaring trade💪
Great vid Tom
Insurance companies should stop paying out idiots like this it puts all our insurance up
9:33 great recovery service! Just casually rips of the splitter!
It's a total loss snyway, it's been floating around in 4 foot of water all day😂
@@mattclarke6773 future track car LOL
@@mattclarke6773splitter would have been ok... Ah well. If you want to see true recovery carnage see Tavarish's McLaren P1
The engine is completely shagged. The splitter breaking makes no difference whatsoever
this is flatout insanity!
My knowledge of car mechanics is from the 1970's so I guess I'm out of date, but why are so many cars towed with the rear wheels locked? I guess it is in transmission lock, i.e. Park, but why? Is there some sort of Artificial Stupidity in modern transmissions that says if the engine ain't running it must go into Park regardless of what the driver wants?
I appreciate your knowledge, I miss the robust old technology we once had. But to be honest, driving through deep water back then wasn't without damage.😃
I'm assuming it is down to them having push button electronic handbrakes and they can't release it.
Push button electric handbrakes which aren't easily released mechanically. Keep in mind too, electrical systems that aren't designed to get wet will do weird and unpredictable things when they do get wet.
Electric parking brakes are the most stupid of modern "conveniences"
@@peterlarkin762 i think they're intended to help idiots who can't do hill starts.
Here I am wanting to investigate every tiny noise or smell that I think is coming from my car. Yet some people are willing do drive theirs into a river when their cars cost way more than mine and they probably have mouths to feed.
I just come here whenever I think I should get some faith in humanity…nope; nevermind!😂
Always know where the air box intake is! Mine is at door pillar height so I’m good if I have to drive slowly through water.
This is where all the cupid stunts come to wreck their cars!!!
guy at the beginning mouthing off about seeing his face on yt being cutoff was funny asf for no reason
Für mich immer noch der verrückteste IQ Test, den ich je gesehen habe! Wasserschlag im Motor ist schlimmer als man denkt …😮😮😮
Flood water - taking idiots off Britain's roads for your safety.
lol yeahhhhhh, that's what that BMW needs........a jump start 🤦🏼♂😂
5:30 - calls him a bellend… One to talk there🤣
Sheesh. They must have saw dust for brain cells. If i even think the water goes up to the wheel nuts on my rims then i am doing an about-turn and going a different route.
2:50 shan’t be ringing him to do my roof 😂
had to be a beemer under the churchill rd bridge lol
How ironic is this video. Expensive Beemers hydro-locked and the globally slagged-off Land Rover Discovery comes to the rescue. Gold.
I hope somebody’s keeping a list of all the registration number of these cars that have been severely damaged and devalued !!!
🇬🇧
I love the pop the bonnet and peek inside to see why it does not start...hint..it was that 3 foot of water that you drove through..LOL. At least the guy in the BMW finally got to change his 5 years old air filter at 8:50 so not all bad eh.
I like it when they open the bonnet and pretend to have a clue what they’re looking for.
As if drying an air filter out will somehow get water out of the combustion chamber.
Я одного не пойму ДЛЯ ЧЕГО ОНИ ТАК ФОРСИРУЮТ ВОДУ,ЧТО ВОЗМОЖНОСТИ ТИШЕ ПРОЕХАТЬ НИ КАК ?
Why not just put up signs at these fords and regular flooding areas saying:
DRIVING THROUGH FLOOD WATER RISKS HYDRO-LOCKING WHICH COULD DESTROY YOUR ENGINE!
Because that would literally ruin having these videos.
@Tom I've watched a lot of your vids and not once have I seen someone stop and check the water depth!
The big clue is when your car starts to float, you know it's too deep!
My 12 year old son did a Land Rover experience day for young drivers and did better wading through 60cm of water than most of these drivers. Knowing a vehicles wading depth and looking at the depth gauge would help a lot here.
I have a Jeep Wrangler with the air intake is 2.8 feet above the ground, so I drive slowly and don’t suck water in. It’s also designed with a 2L catch basin for water before the air filter.
