"And again, keep trying" has got to be the stupidest thing possible to tell someone who's flooded their car.

Lesson One: If someone on the bank is filming don't enter the ford. They are there for a reason!

"That's got to be one of the most foolish things that I've done." Full credit to you for being so honest.

That expensive sounding 'clunk' of a hydrolocked engine!

So many experts on hand ,not .😂😂😂

That first golf OMG the brains on that one. Sunroof was open too!

The water flying through the sunroof 🤣

Child in the back of the Disco waiting for the strap to snap. 😮

" IVE NEVER BEEN DOWN HERE BEFORE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED" 🙄😲, . Well, I would imagine if you went anywhere where there was a big f### oFf flood and drove that fast through it, the outcome would be the same, dur👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The Muppets who try and help are just as bad.

The amount of people that think their car can turn into a boat is astonishing.......

These people, absolute fools.

That Volvo (2nd car) did it quite well and not too fast, the air intake must be really low on those. Any way…. Thank you for the entertainment 😂😂

some of these people are older than me, they haven't gained much life experience in that time, especially driving! 😅

Love how volvo owners continue to do this, they have never made an off road vehicle, the xc70 and xc90 are just tall estates, intake right at the front like the s70 from 1999 at Asda

All those vehicles are able to cross that flooding, even the compacts! The key is speed. Once you hit the gas and water rushes over the grille and hood your car is done. You just have to drive slowly and steady. The best example was the Gray Renault Cargo Van at 6:00.

1:35, telltale sound of a buggered motor.

Its amazing to see still so so many drivers out on the streets who do not understand the basics of safely navigating through a ford.

Do none of these fools watch your films?😂

Try that behaviour at Cahill's Crossing in NT, Australia and you'll have crocodiles to take your mind off the engine problems.

because removing the air filter is going to fix an engine with water in the cylinders that cant go anywhere, bent conrods a plenty

What a weekend 😂 and more to come 🤣🤣🤣 good to see you mate and great video

“That’s got to be one of the most foolish things I’ve done” he says 😂😂😂😂😂

Insurance shouldn't cover this as it is down to sheer stupidity!

Great video Ben 👍🏻

How so many people dont know how to do this is remarkable. If it goes over the bonnet and tou dont have a snorkle you're as good as fucked.

Brilliant video

You must be loving all this wet weather, Ben! 😂

That sign said ONE METRE DEEP!!!!

Cant believe my discovery3 is in this video 😂

i cannot comprehend how you live some where, where it floods often, and you dont know how to drive through deep water... incredible lol but im also thankful because otherwise videos like this wouldnt exist 🤣

5:50 That Audi was very lucky

Oh the optimism of the Mazda driver 😐

Knob of the week is! 😂

This bunch of aquamen mechanics are geniuses lol

An adult should know you cannot take a passenger vehicle into deep water; if you do, it's best to take it slowly. Occasionally, in the outback where the wife and I reside, flood waters overcome the roads. Even with an F-350 SuperDuty Diesel lifted 6" rolling on 37's, I take it slowly and occasionally find an alternate way to get home rather than risk destroying my truck...

2:25 "Clunk!"

In Russia, no one enters the water like that, in first gear they slowly drive and drive through a deep puddle, he drove a car through a puddle on the wipers.The main thing is not to push the wave in front of the car.

4K HDR 😍

1:35 that clunk noise

I'm glad that I'm watching these videos. At least I will never become an embarrassment for KZfaq purposes. There was once a clip of a guy tackling the water on reverse. He made it through but no one ever did the same.

Just reminded me I have a narrow boat channel to watch

0:18 absolute massive lolz

Wait, no BMW's in this episode? Did they finally figure it out?

2:54 - Look at the shoes - he was ready to flood his car in the ford 😀

From the Netherlands: Does insurance in the UK cover these damages?

Seen many a towing hook been ripped out of the threads.

These people shouldn't get an insurance payout, down right negligence

No way that Audi survived??? Did it?

2:24 - the sound of the hydrolock can be heard! Plus the sight of several people waiting around to film you, surely must be an early warning that its too deep to drive through!!

And that why this year's insurance is up 50%.

Probably the first time many of the owners of these modern cars have ever even opened the bonnet…

Take filter off, plugs out and crank it over to try and clear the water. Some of these are proper “Dime Bars”

Once upon a time, BENGREGERS had to hold down a job to earn a living. Then he spent a day filming cars trying to imitate boats and nothing was the same again :D

They may as well throw the car away. The engine damage is enormous. Once the insurance company finds out you wrecked your engine through stupidity, it’s your problem.

Cada bruto que hay!!

Water has never burnt very well..

inky pinky poinky the golf is f@cking wonkey

Where is this?

Are there no obvious signs??? Or do they know its there?

Honey!!!! i see an Ocean in front of us, what should i do? KEEP DRIVING JAMES, just keep driving. Richard Dawkins: We evolved....

we all live in a yellow submarine

hi, great video, to days generation behave like clowns, its the same when they try and cross to Lindersfane island when the tide is coming in.

And I thought Volvo Drivers are intelligent. But there exists some Exceptions... 🤔

Not the depth thats the problem- Its the speed ..

I see britain found a new ford to laugh at.

It always amazes me that some people don't realise that cars need to breathe and can't hold their breath. Driving into a ford like that is like holding someone's head underwater and then being surprised that they drown.

I guess this must be that incompressible type of water?

3:25 сидит в багажнике ожидая встречи с лопнувшим тросом

The thing is the water wasn't even that deep and you've got people flooring it through flooding their engines...

Not being a car person, but does this 100% total the engine?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Doesn't a Renault Megane have a drag eye? Where the towing cable was attached doesn't seem like the best place to drag a car away

No compression there. You can clearly hear it.

There is only one general rule when overcoming a water obstacle. SLOWLY!! Not only because quickly means that water will get into the air intake system and the inside engine. You can't see where the road is, you don't know what's under the water, whether the strong current of water has destroyed the road. Even if you know this road because you have been driving it every day for several dozen years. You don't know what's under the water, so you drive SLOWLY. There is a proverb. "The slower you go, the further you go..."

Why are they driving into the water so fast!? Madness...

The Ford's are good at fording.

i wonder how many kicked off with there insurance when you get told we not paying out and your car is on finance 🤣🤣

2.0 TWI (TurboWaterInjection)

Thick comes to mind.

They think they are submarines.

I don't understand Why so much people try this deep floating water crossing. Are there no alternative routes on their way?!

People should be made to show they know where and what the air intake of the car is before taking their test and told it is consuming in the order of 1000 times the air the driver consumes per minute. 6 litres as against 6,000+ litres per minute. Check the numbers yourself which vary with revs and cc but the air used by an engine is prodigious and not going too work well with the front piled with water. In fact part of the test should be opening the bonnet and showing what the consumables are needing replenishing if low would be a good idea if not done already. Any sign of hydrolock best to switch off and wait for a tow. There is a youtube strip down of an engine that ran for a few weeks until a bent con rod finally gave way and the valves were leaking with bent stems . Many of the vehicles inundated in the mad rush to get through though driving away seemingly OK are likely to be compromised to some degree. Rufford Ford is a good example of that with its long straight to a bend where some cars can manage a long stint but fail before the corner.

Obviously all these new car owners who have paid thousands for their car,think they have bought a boat instead.😂

That’s what happens when you take the flooded ford too fast and this would happen and yes water could drown your engine

How to ruin your car in 3...2...1.... 😂

They all do the same mistake to try to cross the river the faster they can. Water goes right into the air intake.

Culvert technology hasn't reached the U.K. yet

how is this even real

The people who always do the towing at these places, do they charge or do it because they want too

Plebs , most modern cars are whats called bottom breathers they take the air for the engine up through below the bumper , tha fancy grilles are mostly for show .

0:33 What?!! He didn't exactly plough through like others and the water level isn't that high for this car and still kills it?

Why are these people so surprised and confused of there engine is full of water? What did you expect to happen when drivning in a flood? Doh...

Je n’arrive pas à comprendre pour les gens continuent à filmer et à pas avertir les gens du danger de flinguer leur bagnoles… incompréhensible 😊

Copart will be pleased.

Let me show you where the air/water intake is on your car/boat.

Ah yes let's try and compress water that cant be compressed

Why do people keep driving through these places in the UK? Is it the only way to get where they’re going? Are they on their way to hospital and it’s worth the risk of killing their cars?

1:18 forward - he must be winding them up - each time you crank the engine, you pull any water further and further into it - think I'll watch something else, the excessive stupidity here is making me work the keyboard too much! 😁👍

I dont know whats Happen with a Trabant or Jeep Lada Niva in Water i think No Problem
