[@fredygump5578]

That first Land Rover--they entered slowly, generated an appropriate bow wave....and then Launched themselves into said wave, which is a maneuver guaranteed to fill your air box with water. Well done!

[@joeynessily]

😂 … then the little blue fiesta towing out a van later in the video shows how it’s done.

[@jjll9244]

@@joeynessily 😂 exactly! A bloody Fiesta!

[@Rroff2]

Was worried for the guy standing there - you don't want to get hit by a cable under that much tension getting loose.

[@rmssphinx]

@@joeynessily ​ Thanks. It is my Fiesta and it was a first for me, towing something. Given some comments on using the clutch, in hindsight, I should have handled the clutch better and pulling a much heavier vehicle probably wasn't the best idea. Fiesta's fine though.

[@MrVirginnerd]

the guy just casually waiting for the cable to snap his balls off 🤣

[@rmssphinx]

Thanks for featuring me. I am the blue Fiesta driver and asked the couple in the VW Transporter why they went through. They said they didn't think it was that deep, or read the water height signs under the bridge. Funny, I didn't think they would go through, so I didn't bother to turn my camera on to record - it would have had a great view, as its in the waterproof bag on the tripod (can be seen at 05:35).

[@dieselmanmike]

Great clutch control on that wet ramp sir. Credit where credits due.👍

[@joebarrett4353]

You're a real gent pulling out that VW, like a pro!

[@robertd9928]

it's baffling how many people there are that are willing to risk thousands in repair costs instead of taking a 10 minute detour.

[@wordreet]

Yep. Actually, probably less than 10 mins as it's only about 1.8 miles to the village just north of the ford.

[@grumbazor]

or just spend 30 Seconds and drive slow without a wave. There is a water gauge, just check your cars manual how much it can take and you can safely add 10-20cm if you drive slowly

[@landsnailproject2875]

Genuinely burst out laughing at that bit. Guy's been watching those Icelanders pulling folk out of snow with bungees.

[@davidbovine]

[@fatladleem7]

Didn’t help that chap with Volvo hooked toe rope to an hoop for bike rack and not to toe bar on first attempt hence it pull ed the eye straight and second attempt wasn’t too bad .. yes it was in low but unfortunately when it’s I low clutch bites straight away hence the hop and then to find out owner had car keys in his pocket so steering lock on .. but yes I don’t tow that often anymore lol but good deed done for the day lol never know I mite now go to heaven lol but yes poor attempt by me lol

[@markwright3161]

@@fatladleem7 I thought we were about to witness another crash here between the Volvo and the 7 seater. A Clio was pulled out by a Disco not long ago and the driver failed to disengage the steering lock/turn on the ignition 1 click and the Disco driver didn't check how they were following and the Clio got pulled straight into the front of another parked Disco with a big steel brush bumper, so the Clio didn't fair well. I don't know how insurance deals with that given the Clio wasn't under its own power, does it get treated like a trailer and therefore responsibility falls on the tow vehicle as much as the one steering the tow-ee vehicle? That was a close escape for you in that case.

[@markwright3161]

@@grumbazor Most Faux-by-fours don't actually have a higher air intake, the weight is a bit higher but the intake is as low as the sane cars they share the platform with. If you can make it through in one of them you can make it through in the hatchback, estates, etc as well.

[@grumbazor]

@@markwright3161 right, most SUV are just obese compacts that love to roll over and drown. Had a lot of fun at a local model aircraft location where all the tiguans, BMw x, audi q stuck on a wet lawn and had to be pulled out by a fiat pandy 4x4 who had some poeple sit on bonnet and one in trunk. it was ridiculous. Since that moment i despise these SUVs and their drivers even more.

[@rmssphinx]

Thanks for your concern for my Fiesta. I must confess ignorance in towing. My concern was trying to avoid wheelspin or stalling and rolling back but yes I agree, in hindsight, I should have handled the clutch better and pulling a much heavier vehicle probably wasn't the best idea. Fiesta's fine though.

the red discovery. good start, very slow, and then full speed. sooooo stupid. it makes my day

[@TheOfficialStal]

I find the blue BMW at 6:38 very interesting, at first glance it appears he flooded his engine bay but it seems he was going just slow enough that water couldn't reach the intake

[@robc8593]

We know from many video of BMW's, he was literally flipping a coin on his cars survival, he should probably buy a lottery ticket on his way home, it appears to be his lucky day.

[@wordreet]

Advice from the AA Floods and standing water Try to avoid standing water if you can. Don't drive into flood water that’s moving or more than 10cm (4 inches) deep.Let approaching cars pass first. Drive slowly and steadily so you don’t make a bow wave. Test your brakes as soon as you can afterwards. Fast-moving water is very powerful - take care or your car could be swept away. If you do get stuck in flood water, it's usually best to wait in the car and call for help rather than try to get out.

[@Georgerossiter2000]

Let's just say that this is not applicable for those who attempt this ford 😂

[@jackw9920]

[@simonparkinson1053]

@@pyrokinetikrlz Because the driver is unable to steer when the steering lock is on.

General Please comply with the following when driving through water: • Deactivate the Automatic Start/Stop function. • Only drive through still water. • Drive through water only if it is not deeper than a maximum of 25 cm, 9.8 in. • Drive through water at a walking speed of no more than 5 km/h, 3 mph. Safety note Pay attention to the water depth and your Speed. So why does no one do this?

I wonder: what causes this "death sound" in Land Rovers... Could it be a belt or pulley?

[@davidrobert2007]

What happens is - the engine sucks in water and tries to compress it, water will not compress and so the metal rods that connect the pistons to the crankshaft will bend. Being bent, the rods are a tiny bit shorter than before, and because of this the bottoms of the pistons can make contact with the spinning crankshaft below, and that is the cause of the screeching noise you can hear. I hope that explains it 👍

Kind of like a machine shop inside the engine - grinding down metal components and contaminating the oil with metal filings to be pumped around the rest of the engine to do even more damage, or something.
