Always enter steady and then speed up enough to create a bow wave that will push the water away from your intake. People smashing into the water is just propelling water through the grill to smash the plastic fans and destroy other components. Not to mention air intakes can be placed just above the wheel arch.

there's a ford like this just outside my town, eventually the council got fed up of having to tow people out of it so they put a gate across it in the end and you have to go the long way round now.

It's one saving grace is that it's a rare car so the owner would probably want to keep it or at least sell it on to somebody prepared to do the repairs.

Very interesting change up Adam!

The one thing that can be learned from these videos is that slow and steady means most cars can easily make it through. Wouldn't like to try it in an Elise, simply because it'd try to float, but most normal cars driven gently are fine. Did once drive through a flood this deep in a Rover 623 when some melon decided to overtake me in a 4x4 because he was impatient. Thankfully got away with it, and I gave him a furious bollocking when I caught up with him at the next stop...

The commentary is what makes these video's always so enjoyable!

If this was in the USA you'd see trucks with snorkles blasting through at high speeds. Also the occasional stop in the middle to do an underwater burnout! lol

I wish my town had one it would be great for cleaning the mud and salt off in winter

Idk How I find this video but it's awsome.

I wonder if driving through backwards would be better to stop getting water in the engine. Many, many years ago my mum drove through a really deep flood in an '83 Skoda Estelle. Water was coming over the bonnet and round the screen, no problems at all.

Depends on the depth, if the air intake is going to get submerged regardless then no but if your bow wave is going to be what causes the issue then maybe. A lot of people who end up in trouble here just go too fast and turn an otherwise wadable depth into an engine drowning disaster. Check the depth, check how low your intake sits, approach slowly and wait for the ripple to settle before proceeding at a slow but constant pace.

More than likely the rods are already bent before even attempting to restart the engine....... Bear in mind that the normal operating temperature of the piston crown on a petrol engine is around 300° Celcius, so as soon as the water enters the cylinder, it is most likely turning to steam and expanding rapidly as the piston is trying to compress it (and any water in liquid form will not compress anyway)....... It is no wonder why con rods get bent.......

Adam at Rufford? Oh, yeah! I'll watch that! I'd like to see someone doing a burnout on the edge of the Ford. That would be interesting...

The really sad thing is that this ford can be bypassed entirely in a shade over three miles via proper dual carriageway. There's also basically nothing else on that road past the ford save for a few houses. For 99% of people there's zero reason to even go that way and much of this is so easily avoided.

Yeh, definitely a rant.

I have watched many videos at this place and its crazy what some people will try especially when the water level indicates nearly 3ft! haha

If they don't know to follow the first wave maintaining the same speed, then after flooding their engines they likely don't know they can just pull out their spark plugs, turn engine over a couple times to clear the water out through the sparkplug holes and re-insert the spark plugs after drying them off to drain a flooded engine... a bit of water in the crankcase will evaporate as steam as long as you aren't race revving your engines... in fact a bit of water passing through the combustion chambers on the running engine can help clean off some of the carbon buildup... Establish your limits before expanding them... This is definitely the most memorable school bus ride in the morning..

If you don't know: A lot of cars have their air intake low down (often around the wheel arch)... If water gets sucked into the engine and makes its way to the cylanders there's a real problem: Air compresses but water doesn't, so when water gets into the cylanders it can't compress which causes the pistons and engine to blow themselves to bits... That's the hydro-locking that our excellent narrator keeps mentioning.
