Just the folks driving it..

🤣🤣🤣

It's a disco 1 rarely have major issues

@union310 but there are little to no electronics and the windscreens are cheap don't know how the suspension will break as there bomb proof on these old d1s

@union310 no if you've seen any of my content I drive vehicles where they shouldn't really go and I've had many d1s some that arnt on my channel all of them been submerged at some point and they still are running till this day

Or the broken window regulator’s........

@@jbreamsiii The broken regulator's what? 1/10 - must try harder.

👍😛😁😜

But it wasn’t raining

😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Would've been a great photo. Brave of you too go through the Ford on a bike. That photographer may still have the negatives or the photo but we'll never know, will we?

@@nickofkenilworth Probably not, but I can always dream!

I miss my Super dream, my first bike, happy times.

@@bikeman123 Damn good bike, it was! The only better one we had was the Honda CX500 we replaced it with.

Fh

You'd be stupid not to with a car worth that much. Besides, there aren't many unmodified cars with a wading depth that would make it through a flood like that!

@@jackt883 could a stock hilux or ranger raptor go through that too?

@@AbcdEfgh-sq2tf Probably not. That's what I'm saying. People taking the piss because he turned around in a disco but no one withot a snorkal would go through that flood.

@@jackt883 oh mian i just wasted my money 😐 Should have bought that Humdinga instead

@@AbcdEfgh-sq2tf Most modern 4x4’s would not make it through that without a snorkel and other such modifications. However, if you want to try that without a snorkel be my guest but it'll probably nuke the the engine and con rods.

That's the ONLY way to safely cross a flooded river, if your windows are wound up and your vehicle gets swept off the causeway, you can be sure your electric windows will not work when you want them to, and the pressure of the water will jam your doors closed....

Dai call it safety precautions🦧

I said the same thing without looking at the comment😂

Nhaaaaa...it s for cooling 🤣🤣

It's most likely broken 😄

Nothing is amazing in this video. As everyone should know that water need to come thru exhaustion pipe to motor so motor would stop to work. And as you can see exhausting pipe on Jeep is up in front

Vertically 😪

Nothing better to do :)

@@user-sh7yy5jp1y yeah like the discovery that keeps driving backwards and forwards through the Ford 😂😂😂😂😂 oh look at me look at me and my amber flashing light bar 😂😂😂😂

@@TheBrataccas Just like her instagram mirror selfies.

Behind the uniform is a person

I’m not sure if that’s a intentional or unintentional pun

So did I

I was just about to write the same thing. When we had a lot of rain a few years ago, more houses were flooded by car bow waves than the actual flood.

lol

Lol wtf are you on about? 😂

@@skylined5534 not uncommon disco 3 fault, can lose a bulb and reduce the car to a walking pace

Lucas electrics LOLOLOLOL

@@Deetroiter Ur funny ha ha

That JCB. Probably was going flat out lol 😂

JCB Only went down to watch the shit of the underside so he could do some maintenance on it 😆

Flat out wouldn’t make that much of a splash anyway, they have a max speed of 25mph

the Jcb was a bit risik dont know where the pull the air in but much more water i thing can flood the intake ^^

@@turogkane5826 lol no.

The amazing bit, is they’ve got the drivers window all the way down.. I guess he just accepted it’d fill up no matter what. 🤣😂

Capable car not a Capable driver.

The reason for the windows open is a exit if things go wrong !!! Ie if it dies and starts to get swept away you got a safety route to get out if it goes ove ect . Imo the discovery is going a little fast as they was overtaking the bow wave but then that could always been the water current flowing fast across . Wouldn't taken it on with out a snorkel as the standard air intake is right behind one of the head lights 😆

looks good though :)

With an airtight seal of sorts (and a lot of other parts you trust your car’s life on) it wouldn’t be overly stupid to design something for the purpose of an environmental disaster like this. I’m thinking we’ll see a major rise in the frequency of flooding for the next couple centuries. So wouldn’t it be cool if someone engineered/modified a vehicle to do just this if the time presents itself? Screw off-roading, this is much more critical. The way I’m thinking this could work is if all the gaskets locates on and around the engine are flared a bit more at the edges, that goes for air intake gaskets, head gaskets, exhaust system, and the air filter housing that now stretches along the windshield pillar up. The exhaust tip would need to be vertically stretched to accommodate the water levels too. Silicone/rubber seals could line the doors, windows, truck, and as far as I’m concerned, anything on the engine with a cap to open. I have no idea how this SUV could do this multiple times all the while producing engine heat. Sure, the heat gets radiated to the water that completely surrounds it, but does that mean the radiator isn’t necessary? What happens when the radiator fan (mechanical/electrical) has to push all that water AND leave the engine enough torque to push through.

How heavy are these plants? Like oak trees? Redwoods?

@@jpmcnown1 JCB tree's 😁

@@paulgreen2416 telehandler

Don’t know why people like that buy a Disco.

@@alejandrosirvent3357 well an old modified disco with a snorkel is obviously going to be able to go deeper than a stock one lol come on common sense guys

@@F6garage New disco has a huge wading depth standard. People just don't understand how to use what they have.

Yeah pretty sure a disco 5 could manage that. If they had wade sensing it would literally tell them if it was ok or not too haha.

@@Aliasify yep I know that it’s just they are acting like a disco 1 would be able to do it stock lol

Land Rover Discovery , with sun roof, never off roaded, often rains IN. :-)

Interior slightly damp as window was left open.

They'll only float if they're less than 3 years old. Older than that and the water will just come through where the floor used to be.

Jokes aside, did it break down a lot? I owned a freelander and it was the worst vehicle I ever owned.

@@tangomike15 Hi Buddy. Free Lander is a bag of crap (sorry). Years or tears eh? No, or it would have gone. Seriously, the 22 years I had her, we had a bit of welding for the UK MOT for the seat belt mounts. A year before I sold her the original water pump went (at my local gas station, but drove her home) and I changed the rad and the oil cooler at the same time. I got an exchange transfer box at around 10- years in because I grounded her on a rock and it developed a whine (there's a crushable spacer in there somewhere). Still drove her home from Lake District to Newcastle and then to Northants and then on to Telford for the exchange box (500 miles approx). The worst I had was the alternator broke in the middle of France, was driving at night, country roads with no lights, got pulled over by French Police. I explained what was wrong and they were cool. It was hard to find a replacement and had to hire a car for a day. Did around 200k in her. From the UK to Italy, Switzerland, Andorra, France, Spanish Mediterranean beaches? 300tdi is good for 300k, and will run on vedge oil. I know this because I ran out of fuel and filled it up from a local super market :-) "Don't buy a new one, they spend more time in the shop than on the road". That's not me, that's a quote from an LR salesman whilst I was browsing. "Planned obsolescence" is the modern strategy, the days and memories I talk about are long gone.

Current cars, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, very clever but a lease thank God. Good in the snow as it has three engines. A 15 year old 1.6 Civic with 27k on it, leather, heated seats, nice daily runner, very warm, probably will run forever. '96 Z28, my toy, very very quick but a bit rubbish in the snow. I just sold my V6 Omega, beautiful engine, daily runner, a living room on wheels with a devil under the bonnet. Wives just don't understand. But I really miss my little tank. Go any where, any time, any weather. 10 forward gears, 20 if you count the diff lock. 4 reverse options.

@@black5f thanks for the detailed response. My dad, a retired petrol and diesel mechanic, once told me not to listen to the popular opinion about certain car brands, as opinions are fickle, and can easily be formed as a result of a single experience or someone else’s alleged experience. He used the example of the unfortunate ford V6 engine in the late seventies or early 80s. One small fault caused the oil to stop feeding through and resulted in many of these V6 engines being destroyed (I’m sure he explained it better, but I can’t recall). As a result, South Africans for many years considered Ford to be a heap of crap (not sure about opinions elsewhere). In fact, they made some great products, notably the 1600 Kent engine. A simple, but tough engine that was used for many years in the escort, cortina, Sierra and possibly the Capri. One engine let them down. The V6. But yes, I concur...the Freelander was the stuff of nightmares. I eventually cut my losses and sold mine to a friend for less than half of what I paid for it. I was brutally honest and told him all the problems it had given me and told him he’s getting it cheap and I don’t want comebacks.

Nice fence dude

It’s okay the boot floor probably disappeared years ago. They do like to rot.

@@NC-yh8hk Old cars that get dipped in water a lot can rust? No way!

What’s the problem? They have snorkels. Kudos to them for actually using the vehicle to its capability instead of just trying to look cool going to the grocery store

Goodbye ecu, rusty electrics, and say HELLO to the mould!!

Thar She Blows Baz!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b8WfdsmUkqmykoU.html

Haha! Brilliant reference! "It certain don't!"

Yea no capability on road though as they break down

Those are little 4x4, probs need to come to Australia or America for better water crossings hahahahaha

@@lauchlanstill6677 Cretin.

@@markalterado88 I love your written Engrish.

@@markalterado88 Everything's bigger in Australia and America, including your mouths and belly's.

Re-watching.... snorkel, axle/diff breather pipes AND window open, that's HARDCORE.

Land Rover owners , the only people who sulk when the snow dosen't 'Bring Britiain to a Standstill !' Why do I own one? Well, I tried sanity once, didnt like it.

My freelander 2 is a beast. Would do pretty much anything the discos will do

is that why at 4:12 the 2 Land Rovers didn't cross?

@Scimmia My Landrovers, SJ413 and two Imprezas went everywhere fwd and rwd cars couldn't go... pissed on their parade too. Where I worked was a steep ramp to a car park and during one snowy winter in 2004 my Landrover was sharing it with a Discovery, a Freelander and a Hilux. Plenty of parking space that day.

I disagree my cousin had a Jeep Liberty and the 4x4 would go out once a year, he had nice all terrain tires but no 4x4, I was driving my 2 door Wrangler with factory highway tires and 4x4. My cousin got stuck on icy/snowy trail in the mountains of Montana, my Jeep had no issues at all, I went down to him did a 3 point turn on the trail and towed him up the hill, the Wrangler didn’t have a worry in the world. Love my Wrangler, although I did trade up to a 4 door version since then and love it even more.

Hello Emma Thanks for your message and I'm glad to hear your husband is now a happy man! The Discoverys certainly gave great entertainment for the crowds, even though they soaked some of them to death. Thanks for watching the video. I'm amazed that over 120K people have viewed it. Never expected that. Nick

@@nickofkenilworth hi nick. My husband sold the land rover last Xmas some was very unhappy, we had to sell it as we needed a different car with our son being disabled, but this video really made his day so thank you

Wish he would come give my 98 Disco 1 some TLC! ❤Its my main vehicle as well as being done for off roading but I need someone to fix a few things for me.. not some simpering mechanic from a garage with streaks and squeaky boots.

Even had water in the door cards 😂 I think he should have wound the window up to prevent that

@@GregsMowing would have made no difference, it all drains out the way it got in anyway.☺.

In Australia flood depth indicators are everywhere. When touring in northern NSW I remember a newscast that gave the height of the water somewhere upstream from us (I don't remember where exactly) as 40 FEET OVER the bridge. We were trapped on high ground at Narrabri for over a week.

It depends on where you live I guess. The area I live has flood gauges everywhere, but it floods very frequently and having at least a foot of water over some roads in winter isn't out of the norm.

No one's interested mate!

Tommy10 means HE's not interested.

I know well the bridge/area you speak of and I too have drove over, through flood waters when I was young man and had the proper equipment to pull if off safely. At the time I had a 1979 F150 4X4 with a 7'' inch lift kit and 40 Ground hawg tires. I also remember super well a super 500 year rain storm that hit the twin cities in the late 80's where the whole interstate system in MPLS/ST PAUL was under super deep water. Back then even Semis had flooded out trying to drive waters that were just as high as the tops of the semi cabs! I was videoed by one of our local news outlets helping people recover their flooded autos. Fun times.

I learnt to drive in my Dad's, you had to take the seat panel off to fill it with Petrol and I broke the gear stick and the rear half shaft, the guys at the garage told me to get a job test driving them, brilliant, fun vehicles

Aluminium bodies. Hard fail

Totally agree. Even when doing river crossings we go slower than this.

@@justafish-bd8kw that's why I said bodies. Get the reading glasses out chap

@@justafish-bd8kw aluminum touching steel is always bad news . Two dissimilar metals touching each other will create a small charge thus speeding up corrosion. A layer of plastic between the two metals does provide protection against the electrical charge but paint wears away .

looks like they are switching drivers. could just be a scrap car and a good moment to teach your kid's what to do and how a car handles in such a situation if there is some interest in off-roading in the family

I thought it sounded Dire Straitish

@@FedericoLucchi both my guitar heroes. 🎸🙋🏼‍♂️

I mean the new defender has gone through heavy flowing rivers in Africa as deep 🤔

Would`t be a problem for the new Defender, maybe not that fast but would be possible! Same for the D5 which is parked in the video.

900mm wading depth straight out the showroom. It would do this just fine.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😪

I’d love to see the lad on the push bike do it😂

Thanks glad you enjoyed it. Hope your ears ain't ringing to much!

😂 they all messaged eachother ok the neighbourhood watch group chat
