Absolutely correct 👌👌

Can’t agree more

Disagree. That may be true, or it may not. The ONLY thing which actually matters is knowledge of the location of the air inlet for the vehicle's engine. If it is low, as some are, the motor will ingest water and be damaged or destroyed, and the speed won't matter. If it is high and water can't reach it without submerging the entire car, then you can blast through. If it is hood-height, then slow would be more prudent, to avoid the bow wave.

@@125AXer You're wrong. If you hit the water with enough speed, it's like you hit a solid wall and can seriously damage your vehicle. The dark 4x4 demostrated that perfectly. Under perfect condition you want to go in, creating a bow wave and keep steady to stay in the valley just behind the bow wave. And most people forget that it is not only the intake that can cause trouble. It's the most obvious issue, but both transmission and differentials have breathing valves. If they are submerged and those parts cool down (due being submerged) the resulting pressure differential can suck water in through the seals. And you really don't want water inside your transmission nor the differential...

I think there Is no driver stupid as much as range rover drivers.

Nice punctuation, good grammar and proper spelling, well done 👍

yeah and that is very good try. Defo better than people who are doing full speed and their car stops in the middle of the river

Its very shallow, the depth in these videos varies by a good 2 feet.

But no fun

@@WegrennerX is it fun when you need a new engine?

Maybe its modified. Or bmw know what their mistake

It was a hybrid, I think he switched to electrical something before he drove through

@@TomSunderland oh, i dont see that detail. Btw great thumbnail

Thanks 😁

A hybrid on electric mode...

And the tow truck man

Thanks mate I really appreciate it 👍🏻👍🏻😁 and yeah I was in that rain from 8am till 11am but it was definitely worth it afterwards

@@TomSunderland Yes it was! Thank you! Just watching Fails Part 2...I shouldn't laugh...But the way they rock forwards when the engine locks up and grab the keys or go to push their little start button...Makes me cry with laughter...It's car!...Not a boat! And now it needs a new engine! 😂😂😂

That Toyota with the yellow plate and yellow stuff did it better

You should go there and add to the thrall of spectators. Just be sure not to take YOUR car through the ford though

Tell your dad his cars shit .👍

@@muckspreader1able hes had it for years never let us down it can take water and alot of mud tbh its very reliable that thing

@@reece7315 obviously not.

@@muckspreader1able well its still going to this day

No surprise to me either because you are talking about standard and modify ..

But it's a Range Rover.

@@jenGD3 I don't think the LR4's were modified.

@@frothe42 Built by Land Rover.

@@dandare2586 Owned by Tata!

Ha ha wonder if they watch videos of their fails whilst they are waiting for their motors to be fixed

@@ianhosier4042 Fixed?? I would not buy a second hand car from within 100 miles of this place :)

Surprising they didn’t break down leading up to the ford crossing

I’d set up shop across the street, it’s guaranteed business

@@lutsenfilms9582 flooded cars are a freakin pain to repair. Most cars arn't worth as much as the repair would cost

5:18 lol 😂

I've seen 2 of the new ones die in the same way..... both failed with that odd squeaking sound!

Luck was with him that day

suzuki jimny

too macho, they probs watch far too much TV

It was a mink

it's a choice, they choose this route, the alternative is probably an extra few mins drive, laziness

I do lol, I was completely dripping wet from 8:30am to 5pm and I wear just may normal shoes but at the end of the day the footage i got was worth it lol

There is, it’s a river

air intake is the killer here

Its hydrolocking the engine that you have to worry about, the lucky ones have drenched electrics, the unlucky ones have bent conrods, or worse.

@@uhtred7860 sooo in layman’s terms, have a canopy under your engine so you plane over the water and it’s hard to soak/smash parts if you go stupidly fast?

@@murrayclarke2171 What?? no, just go slowly through water, if you can see a wave coming over your bonnet you are going to fast, and or the waters to deep.

@@rogerfroud300 Driver doesn't know how to wade through water then. Not the cars fault.

Yes, if you rotate the air intake to winter position.
