A friend of mine went through a flood. The water wrecked the engine. I remember consoling her as a new engine would be expensive. She was baffled at my concern as she thought the engine just need to dry out. £4000 later she sold the car as it never ran properly after that. I stay clear of deep floods

😂 they are there for a reason!

You dad gave you good advice. I used to work as both a driving instructor and part time i worked as an off road driving instructor. Even if you know the road you still don't know whats happened to the road surface underneath. Floods can lift manhole covers or create sink holes you can't see becouse they are covered in water. Fast flowing water can rip up the road surface and the other danger is debris in fast flowing water being wash down streem, your 4x4 might be able to handle the depth but then when your half way across half a tree comes down steam. There are hidden dangers everywhere, 1st option with any flood, is there another root i can take to avoid it. I have even made the mistake my self. When i lived on a farm i drove my Land Rover through a flood it could easly handle, only problem is i was unaware some scumbag had been there in the night just before the road flooded for a spot of fly tipping. Things suddenly started to not feel right and as i drove out of the flood making many funny noises there was an old bed mattress rapped around my front left wheel, all the rusty springs sticking out it got hooked up on my brake pipe and around the front wheel and axle. Reversing only seemed to make things worse so i ended up jacking it up but still i couldn't untangle the mass of coil springs sticking out everywhere, Didn't do any damage to my landy but i just couldn't get it off, must have took me a few hours to remove the thing which did include a walk home which was just over a mile away mile away in the pooring rain to get some cutters out the workshop to then have to walk all the way back.Could have been worse i know but If i'd simply gone around i'd have save myself alot of time and a long walk in the rain.

I had the same adice from my dad, and departed grandfather. My grandfather used to work as a carpenter then a site manager for a large building company.he also told me give large vehicles more room than they really need, they won’t hot you then, nor will there load if there an idiot

Sagely advice from your Dad!

Good advice, but in this case there is a depth marker so people don't have that excuse. They're just entering the water way too quickly in most cases.

Well said dad RIP 😢😢

I had the same vehicle , W reg series 2 diesel. Nothing can stop them if you know what you are doing

Agreed, even without a snorkel that disco 2 couldve easily gone through, drivers fault. It'll be running in a few minutes again 😂

​@@wanderer397 nope land rovers have them on the top of the bonnet, if he had gone slow and caused a bow wave then it would have been fine, usually land rovers are fine altogether tho, he must not of had his engine electrics sealed properly. Land rovers always start again tho, it probably started up after it was towed out by the other land rover

Ha glad you commented that !!! I left a comment just now.. 😂❤ take care out there.. x

​@@SeeYouEnTee666 Yeah that surprised me too. I'm thinking something else happened to it maybe.

hahaha , you are so wright ! they where build for it !

And that prick looked special

The air intake in a Disco is lower than you think. He would have made that at walking pace though.

What about Tesla 😅

@@Discoveryjamie Not a combustion engine. I'd still worry about the door seals and wet carpets and upholstery though. (Despite many man-in-the-pub stories of EVs failing in and after going through floods, I've not been able to find a single confirmed case. That MG4 that swam part of the way through the Buttsbury Wash apparently lived to tell the tale.)

​@@Discoveryjamiethey still have other components such as EDUs that have breathers. When submerged they'll fill the gearboxes with water.

Even still, waaaay too fast.

@@banditbiker25 Doesn't seem to happen in practice though. There's a couple of videos up of a guy whose wife's Zoe was submerged to half way up the doors for 12 hours when caught (parked) in a flash flood. It's all about drying the car out - no small task. He didn't encounter any mechanical issues. There might be the occasional case, but all the tales of EVs failing after going through a flood seem to evaporate on closer inquiry. There are Tesla drivers who seem to revel in barrelling through floods as if they were Land Rovers. You'd think they might at least worry about their number plates!

I think it is hydrolock not hydraulic lock. Hydro being water.

@@radishpea6615 And hydraulic being incompressible liquid, it’s the hydraulic effect of incompressible liquid that damages the engine. So both are correct. I’ve seen bent con rods and twisted or broken crankshafts due to the hydraulic effect.

@@charliegould5865 ok, sorry I did not know that. I just thought it was water not compressing in the cylinders.

@@radishpea6615 It is, water like any liquid will not compress so the engine if it’s turning at any speed try’s to compress the water and as it can’t something has to give way. Hence the bent con rods or twisted crankshaft, whatever is normally catastrophic and the engine will need major repairs or replacing. So I call it a hydraulic lock and you call it a hydrolock, same thing really, results in a big bill. The engine may start afterwards but if it has bent a con rod or two or twisted the crank won’t run properly. If the engine was only at idle there’s a slim chance it might survive. So when you see a video of a car that’s gone through deep water and they’ve got it restarted but there steam coming out of the exhaust, it may be running but is it running properly?

@@charliegould5865 Never heard water in a cylinder being referred to as hydraulic lock before. Sure I've only heard the word when used referring to oil

They treat water like radiation, the longer they are exposed the greater the risk.

RS4 (B7), but close enough

What we can't see is, how many have stopped at a later time due to water damage.

Goddamn that’s smart af

They're numpties ! They don't think at all 🥴

Someone on another vid said they think that the ones that start off slow and then gun it do that because they feel the water coming in to the car and wetting their feet.

They may be confusing the technique to get through deep water with that needed for mud. To get through a muddy stretch, good forward momentum has to be maintained, sometimes even a turn of speed is required. Unlike, of course, a stretch of deep water. . .

Top Gear (original)

Going faster mean less water will touch all the parts.

I do like Trescott just a shame it doesn’t seem to stay deep for very long

You of course are referring to TATA ... land rover is just a sales name you know ....I

I mean just why would you 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷‍♂️

🤣🦧🦧🦧

lol.

Worse, imagine there is an alternate route 5 min longer and people still insist on pressing their luck!

В таком случае , надо просто немного подготовить машину и свой разум . Это не трудно .

I believe they do pay out but only if the road has not been closed

Yeah even without a snorkel a disco 2 would have easily got through that he's a bad driver

That's a dammed good question, I worked for a particular insurance company, they don't like paying out.

Correct, I would drive 10 extra miles before I would subject my car to this

I wouldn't even go into that in an EV. They're nuts.

Quite correct sir.

​@@moragkerr9577don't go through in an electric vehicle I knew someone who had a Tesla and it was fine until 5 miles down the road it just died Tesla couldn't fix it and he just sold it for way less than he bought it don't get electric vehicles at all they are crap

@@tanks4lyfe509 I'll take "things that never happened" as my starter for ten on that. You petrol-head Luddites keep coming out with these stories, but never ever, not once, has there been a verified example of an EV dying because it went through water. The Nissan Leaf has a certified wading depth of 2' 4". There is a compilation of various Teslas going through Rufford Ford like submarines, one up over his windscreen. There's an MG4 *swimming* the Buttsbury Wash in nearly three feet of water. I've taken my MG4 through plenty of shallower floods (not so deep, I don't want my carpets soaked) and it is absolutely fine. EVs are much better than ICE cars at driving through water.

If water gets sucked into the air intake the engine is hydrolocked, rip

@@daijoubu4529 complete engine replacement needed?

​@@the_beauty_around_usin land rovers, usually if you start it and rev the arse off it, it'll blow all the water out, and you can carry on, however land rovers never really drown especially when you have a snorkel, but other cars need new engines 👍

Easiest cars to do it in.

It's just a tray back and a bobtail he's cut half of the back off

@@tanks4lyfe509 i know

First one I've ever seen drowned it's because of the driver as you can see the others got through easily if he went through slowly it would have been fine even without a snorkel he's just a bad driver

The old man in his disco could have easily got through it was the driver's fault no decent driver with a Land Rover would drown it he went through way too fast he could have got through easily if he went slow

I think there is around 1100 Ford around the uk
