Rufford Ford FLOOD | part 125 with Nissan Navara Ripping Off Front Bumper!!! 

The whole series should be called dumb and dumber.

“Low mileage, never parked outside, never driven in the rain.”

It amazes me to see how many people willingly drowns ther car? This crossing must be a gold mine for the local repair shops in the area!

1:38 "Give it a couple of minutes" - "Why, is it fitted with self-straightening con-rods?"

The best thing to do when hydrolocked is NOT try to start it (obviously). Remove the spark plugs or glow plugs and turn the engine over on the starter. Make sure you remove water from any part of the intake including the air filter housing. We all know you can't compress water so by trying to start it every single time you are putting immense force on the internals and it is how you bend connecting rods. You also need to be lucky in the first place and hope that you don't already have a bent connecting rod.

Never thought I'd see a Bentley speeding through this ford but here we are

Absolutely fascinating clips, what is wrong with people?? Destroying their cars needlessly.

Of course the person driving the cheapest car was the most careful

I passed my test in the army and when we were getting trained in off road driving we were taught to all ways go through water in first gear so when I see cars fly through and rip bits off and wreck there cars it makes sense like the car at the end just going through at normal speed with no problems.

01:04 The overconfident wave just before the plumes of white exhaust smoke and loss of power. 🤣

Makes my day when a BMW dies and the driver pretends not to care. Fantastic 😂

The collection of parts and plates is hilarious. Imagine thinking you're so cool then get home and realize you ripped off your bumper. 😂😂

4:04 lol a winterjacket , sunglasses, and short trousers 🤣

I've been watching this for a while. I'm addicted I have to say. I will have to see a shrink. Great to pop down there yesterday. Beautiful spot. I can't believe Astra drove away eventually. Well done guys for helping him.

Ahhh.... Nothing better than hear the rods bending with the morning cup of tea 😇... Well... Both have water in them 🤣

As long as we have Rufford Ford Britain will be ok. Entertainment, Culture and employment!

The guy at the end knew how to do it

I find it amazing, as an American, that people here in the States will drive into flooded areas without a second's thought as to 'MAYBE I should slow down, OR not go through at all'.

Среди всей неразберихи, так приятно услышать родную речь!) 2:19

Rover driver at the end the only one who got it right so far.

Those poor people that live there... or maybe they should just embrace it and open a visitor centre. They could have a gift shop selling number plates and bits of bodywork.

For overseas watchers, I point out that the second two numbers on the car's plate tell the year of registration (more or less). The Beemer with DX14 etc is eight years old. However, a 70 plate means 2020, just to confuse! Round by Rufford people seem to keep their vehicles in good condition and well-maintained. The downside is that if a vehicle is worth perhaps £4,000 second hand, playing at river patrol through a ford is likely going to cost that amount for a replacement engine. That makes it a write-off. 10 seconds of fun creating a bow wave, and years of regret afterwards...

Surely you see the crowds of people and literally think “nah, this isn’t a good idea” 😂😂😂

See the moisture in that rover, looked like the love making scene in Titanic

3:12 nice catch! fishing was good today 😂

Absolute chaos and carnage, and then the Rover driver at the end shows everyone how you're supposed to do it. Calm, steady and no killed motor.

I like watching bmw cars , especially on this channel.

The best drivers are the ones that drive ultra slow and don’t let the water over the hood… It’s all about keeping the water out of the air filter that’s it that’s all.

jup- we austrians used to drive in snow but not in deep water. luckily engine is well :D :D And soooo many thx to you helpful lads out there. Quickly guys appeard with toolbox and helped to fix the prob ;) cheers

4:31 he just accepted defeat 😂 Great to see this from another POV :)

Can't for the life of me understand how the police let this happen- cars driving at speed in an area where children are always about. The worry is that one of the drivers snaps when his car hydrolocks and attacks the sightseers (who seem to have started to cheer the misfortunes loudly).

And it's why people need a off-road car

I like how they lift the bonnet pretending they know what they're doing. That BMW was hydrolocked. Probably won't ever be the same again. Are people that stupid?!

Awesome! This should be called HOW NOT TO CROSS and WHAT NOT TO DO when your cars engine is already full of water.

Crazy that the guy with the cheapest car shows the most repect unfortunately that Rover 600 will probably last forever ☺

Loved the old Rover at the end!

1:45 “Have you unplugged the MAF sensor, that might be why it’s not starting” 😬

Rover, you are competent…

Tom, I dont get it mate. Why and Why do they do that to such lovely cars. Jesus if you got that much money to trash give it a food bank or pay my power bill!

There’s the Mexico Wave 👋 and now the Rufford Ford Wave , priceless.

Thanks for some aftermath footage!!! Last car, best answer, windows steamed up so much you cant see the water level & a broken windscreen wiper blade (with a piece of string holding it off the screen) just to ensure that you have no chance of seeing properly...at all...

Love the Rover 600 at the end

This rivercrossing is more destructive and WAY more costly than a bangerrace!!!! Only the competitors don’t realise.... And sure it is fun to watch!!!

These are the most satisfying videos I ever watched on RU-vid. I like it when the expensive ones get wet. Especially when they don't like being filmed 👍🏼

How in the world did that Bentley Driver DROVE his car in the water and in so much speed???😂😂😂😂😂

is this a tourist site?

6.40 - адекватный человек, который понимает смысл работы автомобиля и что такое вода)

FUNNY HOW THE LOCALS DONT WARN ANYBODY JUST WATCH ENJOYING THE SHOW

White Rover wins points for knowing how to drive through a ford but instantly loses them for not knowing how to use the de misting controls of his/her own car (yes I have a points system for all combatants who choose this path, very few achieve a positive score)

The amount of people stood on that bridge today must of meant the local villages of that area had no idiots for a few hours

Once upon a time in Slovenia,at the similar place, there was a phone number of a towing service on the nearby wall .

2:27 Tom thanks for this footage, interesting to see what diagnosis process is going on :] & the condition of the vehicles.

3:00 The back and front of that pickup have different license plates lol. S33 UK vs S33 UKA

Автомастерские надо там ставить парочку. Всяко по 1-2 гидроудара в день. И контент и работа всегда есть

2:19 "Всё, задымился?" :))

Yep definitely a BMW Bring My Wallet

Lol that trucks number plate that flew off got be worth more then the truck lol

Русская речь...на 2.20. удивлён!

We need to have something like this here where I live. Priceless. I can't stop laughing watching this and neither can the folks who stand watching it all over there.

When that Tsunami wave rolls up the bonnet, it usually doesn't end well!

Saves you £1000’s just detouring into Ollerton village 😂😂

Never gets old even when it's so similar to all other wrecking videos on the channel. Morbid curiosity?

I love how the whole town comes out to watch lol

The Nobel prize for physics goes to the 1st car driver who can compress water 💦 in there engine 🥴

The Corsa Guy is the "best" one. Removes the wet Interieur Airfilter instead of the Engine ones. And removing an Airfilter doesn't remove the water in the Intake (which is a long way at any turbo charged car) or in the Engine.

I'm happy for the kiddos waiting for the splash! Also my heart gets sad because people are trashing their perfectly good cars for no reason and some even make a scene..!

Man Down!!!! Breaks my heart to see the Argos van at the end, pleased to say I wasn't the pilot.

Always painful to see people that have no idea how an engine works trying to get one going again 😂

"Ahhhhh look, a body of water, who cares how deep it is - FLOOR IT!" I have watched these where the drivers of cars/vans etc just approach the Ford at speed and it's amazing they don't aquaplane into someone's house.

BMW and Audi drivers seem to feature disproportionately highly... I suppose those who can't find an indicator stalk would have trouble navigating a ford correctly.

2.20 так приятно слышать русскую речь на видео)

420d for sale, careful owner, never driven through flood, original exhaust.

First mistake, you don't accelerate fast in the water cause the water would get to the engine easily. You have to go very slowly and pres a little bit the gas pedal. I have done that with my Toyota Avensis Sedan 1.6L Manual 5 Speed 2008 in the river with almost the same amount of water without any problem. You have to go slowly, that's all.

Its a great channel but I hate the children screaming so hard. I rather want to hear the engines

Still bloody good 2 look at though..as u always get the ones who get through then give a thumbs up or have a smile on their face only 2 conk out a min later..gotta luv it.

Crying for that 1st Beamer...

Nothing like seeing Ben in his shorts with a pair of wellies w/ me morning coffee and then soaking wet too!!! You boys need to go downstream and help some English beavers dam up the stream to get the water level above 57 inches on a clear day so no Sheriff's closing the road and try an get some EV's to shut down too! Lol (just kidding, I don't have enough money to come to Rufford and cover your Bail!)

1:47 - Because repeatedly cranking the engine will suddenly undo the water damage.

On my first year of driving we couldn't find a free space around a local lake and decided to explore the surroundings on my 06 Subaru Forrester. We have found a small country road which led us to what seemed to be a puddle about 5-7m long and turned out to be mirrors deep Somehow I managed to do it properly - went in slow, but when I saw water by my mirrors flooding over the windshield and the roof like a submarine I went full throttle and got out of it. I wouldn't say its a common puddle even by Russian standards So, looking at this video I'm just thinking we could have sunk the whole car there 😄

BOOOOM..... 10/10

hahaha when he started revving I knew it was a done deal 😆

Umiejętnie można przekroczyć tę przeszkodę każdym samochodem

6:36 finally someone with some common sense

One of these guys probably has a bent radiator now.

Am I the only one who saw the license plate of that car fall in the water??

Английская национальная забава 👍😁

5:00 only driver that knew what they were doing.

So, is the consensus that the BMW was hydrolocked or had a bent rod? I need a satisfying conclusion. Btw, thanks for the upload

The last one knows how it is done. 👍

The bmw at the start deserves it for having an M badge

These should be on the Darwin awards .

leftover parts sell it on ebay 🤣🤣🤣

That is pure comedy gold.

Use first gear, and slip the clutch to maintain a low road speed with high engine revs: that way you can keep the bow wave as small as possible and there is less chance of water getting into the exhaust. If the water is too deep, the engine and electrics will conk out anyway; but if it isn't, driving through it like a bull in a china shop is about the most likely way to fail, and you can tear chunks off the vehicle in the process. Shame that didn't occur to a lot of these bright sparks.

Everytime I think, "oh, he's going to make it" nope, white smoke out the exhaust. 😂😂 Kaput

These videos serve to personify how stupid your average motorist can be, when presented with an obstacle they've not previously encountered. 🤨Manufacturers keep producing idiot-proof cars and humans they keep making better idiots! 🤣

This is wholesome fun with the family 😊

I know its great content and i love the videos but i really cant get my head around the amount of outstandingly stupid people that drive through here , i would take one look and turn round as i value my car .

Вот в России в этом месте давно уже бы дежурил ушлый эвакуатор. И не один😂

Belligerence and ignorance, what a wonderful combination.
