That first car stopped quite violently. Nice demonstration of hydrolock. Then the roofing guy, lifts the bonnet, looks vaguely around, as if there was going to be a flag showing the problem. Hopefully he's better at the roofing.
I worked on AA breakdown,these 🤡🤡 should not be driving,they cause chaos and hinder help to those who really are in need of the emergency services! Do you have a spanner ?priceless, think he meant a brain ?!
Yeah that was nasty ....... lets all sing the conrod song ...... i`ve got a lovely bunch of S shaped conrods , but it was still fun driving at high speed into that huge puddle ...... (Chorus) ...... i `ve got a lovely bunch of S shaped conrods 😆😆😆😆😆😆
My Toyota tacoma (hilux) is set up for overlanding and I would never hit any water crossing at those speeds. Water has more force and power than people think too not just hydro locking.
It just causes the water to splash up and enter through the air intake! A few of them could have just taken it slowly and probably would have been fine.
The smartest driver was the MB M-class that slowly made his way through the flood. This way water won't rise above the engine and get sucked in the intake. Kudos to the MB driver at 4:40!!!
Also it baffles me how many people try to crank their engine after they flooded the thing. They are making it much worse. You have a chance that your engine isnt ruined after it switches off. But as soon as you crank it, you are sucking in all the water.
Actually that's wrong, the correct way through water is at moderate speed, just enough to keep a bow wave in front of the vehicle , so that the water is pushed away like a ship, and not sucked in like a drain or vent. Of course to really do it right, you'd also put a tarp over the grille and tie it down.
I tell people the same thing every time the viaduct's gets flooded and im sent to pump the water away and clean the sewers, some listen and some dont, I have pulled a few cars out every time with Volvo. One year had a guy get stuck in 2-3 feet of water in his Golf, the moment he rolled down his window to call for help a Scania came hurling full speed in the other lane, he got wet! felt sorry for him, but it was kinda fun. :D
@@xpusostomos Go in, create a wave, stop for a moment. Then follow the wave in moderate/slow speed. Thats the right way. I wouldnt risk it, tho. Even with a Land Rover. Even if the Land Rover has a snorkel. Chances are that its not entirely sealed. Also, a lot of electronics maybe get flooded or at least wet. If the water is low, sure, go in. The thing is, you cant really see it. If there are people on the side who are filming, probably dont go in. They are there for a reason.

Bag on, you are right, i'm an old man now, but when i was a boy my farther gave lots of useful advise on driving in floods, that was drive very slowly to make as little waves as possible and keep the rev's up to stop water getting in the exhaust, and slip the clutch if you have to. Ok automatics i never thought of, but i suppose hold it in first is the thing! what prates driving water into air intake like these on film. Waite till the snow comes then you will see more ways not to drive, reving the arse out when the car is slipping, instead of picking a high gear and trying to move off with almost no revs almost stalling, is the way get gowing in snow and ice
The first (Ford) is the best. Perfect example of hydrolocking the engine and possibly destroying it (crack cylinder head, crack piston rod, bend crankshaft,...). The force of the non-compressing water in the cylinders even locked the wheels. Impressive.
Unfortunately in my experience of tradesmen, that's most of them these days. Took me 4 tries to find a decent plumber, one 'fix' (to a cistern) cost me £150 and lasted all of three days. The young lads in particular seem to be all attitude and no skill, or else they can't be arsed to do anything but the bare minimum despite being paid £200 just to get out of bed.
The irony of the kid with 8 eyes stood on his bonnet calling the pickup driver a "nobhead", having moments earlier rallied his focus as though its a Ford Submarine. 😂 or Submoron. 😂
Yeah it was quite poetic really. So many knobheads in this country, especially when they get behind the wheel. He was trying to play it cool with his pants round his arse but you just know his girlfriend was laughing her head off. Hope she never lets him live it down.
The water inside the airbox in the Iveco Roofing van most definitely took water in as there was a pool right next to the intake pipe where the MAF sensor is 😂
In case anyone is wondering about when the video of the tractor coming through Rufford Ford from yesterday and getting stuck, it’ll be premiering tomorrow at 3pm. Thanks for watching Rufford Ford FLOOD at 5FT with farmer in tractor that has had enough of closure | part 142 ua-cam.com/video/A1KhzdLN5FU/v-deo.html
I’m also from Canada (British Columbia) and I too am watching this with disbelief. Out here we get flooding from rapid snowmelt or heavy rainfall that at its worst can make you, your vehicle, and your home float away if you are caught up in it… but in this case being known hazard and is avoidable just makes the whole situation a 🤦♂️
That Engine Hydro lock & instantly locking up the driveline & watching the front axle jerk backwards was hilarious... I replayed it several times..... So many people seize their engines... they probably sell more engine replacements than actual vehicles there.... could have a whole business dedicated to the $tupid drivers towing & repairs...
Edwards roofing 😂😂😂😂😂 I wouldn’t trust him to do anything that’s remotely technical😂😂😂 “Highway Maintenance”….ain’t many ‘roofs’ on any Highway I’ve seen????
Why do they all take off like madmen as soon as they're clear? Are they scared the water will chase them or something? It would be the cherry on top of this cake of stupidity to see someone fly off the road or crash because they felt the need to race off at 60mph on wet country lanes (after filling their engine compartment with water)
I love the optimism of these drivers, lifting the bonnet like they’re going to be able to get the water out of their cylinders. The bounce back on the Focus was really something….
02:44 "Have you got a spanner?". You could say that. A big spanner was driving the van. The driver of the silver pick up going through at 0:36 so fast so close to that guy was very very selfish.
I like the part when the van driver wrote off his van, lifted the bonnet up and then remembered he has no clue what he’s doing so closed it straight away 😂😂😂😂
Could well have cracked the block. I've got a publication here from a piston manufacturer with a rogue's gallery of issues including a block from a hydrolocked coach diesel with cracks going everywhere.
@@coffee3million714 It's a Wellworthy publication dating from the 70s - I'd have been given it in '76. Wellworthy were piston manufacturers based in Lymington (UK) and are long gone.
The ML absolutely nailed it slow steady speed gentle bow wave keep the water as settled as possible that way you don't turn your motor into a bilge pump! Hitting the water at speed just forces it into every hole every wiring plug and the intake, then cause your foots too the floor like a absolute tool all that water goes straight into the cylinders ready to shorten them conrods
Yep there are very few folks nowadays who realise just how to travel through flooded areas and what preparations and precautions need to be taken. And that many modern cars (even some 4x4s, aka Chelsea tractors, I'm told) have no consideration for the possibility of going through flooded areas (air intake placement, and limited ability to drain excess before the air filter). I know I didn't tell one of my off-spring well enough :-(
I drove back from Wales on friday and there was water poring of fields and a lot of flooded roads. We all took slow and carefull, and i was in an ordinary 208, on the crown of roads. I saw one car with the front ripped off from hitting water too hard, a land rover evoke.
Fascinating. As if it wasn't bad enough the Focus driver piled into the water, my jaw dropped when he opened the bonnet and started on the air filter. Same with Mr. Roofing. Do they teach nothing about driving or mechanics these days? (Also thought it interesting that nobody seemed to care what might be under that water - like a big hole?)
I can’t believe people slow right down and than give it bunch of gas. Majority would make it if they just crawled all the way. As long as intake is above water level!
This is one of those places where you would just like to slow clap the people who try to fly through it thinking everything will be fine if I just gun it. The fact I've watched so many of these videos now shows a huge lack of awareness and genuine common sense in drivers today, it's no wonder dash cam videos have become so popular when this is the standard on our roads across the UK.
The trick they're all missing here is to put their four-way blinkers on. After all, it allows you to park anywhere, reverse on motorways, drive on footpaths and anything else that is difficult, dangerous or illegal.
Interesting to see the snorkel land rover having a bit of a hiccup and splutter with steam out of the exhaust at 3:43. He does splash it enough revving hard to cause the water to wash over the intake at 3:35 which rather negates the point of it. Nothing is ever completely foolproof however hard designers try. I find the amount of air an engine needs every second is staggering. A 2 litre engine running at 3,000 r.p.m. is rotating 50 times per second. If a four stroke it will try to suck in its volume of air 25 times per second. The cylinder sucking their capacity of air could be up to 50 litres per second and possibly even more with with a turbocharger. This does equate with numbers given on the web.
Seems that most people forgot that unlike air, water is incompressible. Modern cars for some reason have the air intake low down in the best position for hydraulic locking up of the engine. And once the footwell is waterlogged, no amount of drying out with heaters and dehumidifiers will stop those electrical problems in a few months. There’s a lot of sensitive electronic connections down there.
@@davidk3729my guess (as to why they put the intake so low) is so that they can have those sloping aerodynamic front ends. Design trends mean that lot of cars don't really have a 'grille' nowadays - the radiator, intake, AC condenser etc are all mounted low down below where the 'bumper' would once have been, where they're most vulnerable to damage. As for sticking ECUs, fuses etc in the footwell, that doesn't seem to make any sense at all.
I love how people hydrolock and blow up their car then try to get out and not get their shoes and clothes wet… you have bigger problems then that today lmao.
The first one was painful..... no regard whatsoever for his vehicle and no clue on top of it but all of that with a lot of vigor. Rest in pieces little Ford Ecotec..... 😞
When they drive into deep water, have they any idea how much a hydro-locked engine costs to repair ( or replace). They smile and laugh trying to hide their embarrassment when they emerge from their cars, but once they see the repair bill, they will never do it again. Anything over 10 years old and its scrap value only
Love the way all the land rover drivers are lording it up like they finally have a reason to be driving a tractor. I do about 30000 miles a year, about 1 of them may possibly involve some sort of water if I’m unlucky and which I can usually detour around. To my mind I’d rather drive in comfort for 29000 miles and be inconvenienced for 1 than drive a Massey Ferguson all year just in case.
Some years back after a heavy snowfall here in Surrey (UK) a loudmouth neighbour bought a 4WD SUV and was boasting how they were going to be pulling cars out the next time it snowed. Well come the next snowfall the 4WD SUV sat on their drive.
It's exactly like your choice. They rather drive 3k miles in a car they want to than in a car some random UA-cam comment section guy wants them into. Guy owns a defender he prolly has other cars
@@UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ if there were 1 mile of water in every 30000 and you’d been through 999 miles of water, your defender would have done 29,970,000 miles. At an average of 60mph that’s 57 years constant motoring. I think I’ll just take the detour round the problem!

Why do people think that they can drive at normal speed into a deep flood and SERIOUSLY?? Expect their vehicles to keep going. I have a 4x4 and I wouldn’t even consider such a dumb, stupid, idiotic stunt, unless your engine is specifically “Waterproof/Watertight “

Design trends mean that lot of cars don't really have a 'grille' nowadays - the radiator, intake, AC condenser etc are all mounted low down below where the 'bumper' would once have been, where they're most vulnerable to damage.
As for sticking ECUs, fuses etc in the footwell, that doesn't seem to make any sense at all.
Oh here comes a DPD van, oh is a sprinter, ahh its a competent driver.
I love how people hydrolock and blow up their car then try to get out and not get their shoes and clothes wet… you have bigger problems then that today lmao.
You can hear the hydrolock on the first Focus
Can't believe the roof-mounted hazard lights didn't protect it.
He's def an odd one. Probably will be on some sting on fb if you get me
I like it when they go "Kapuuutthhhhssstttttttttssssssssssssss"
I've seen a dozen or so of these videos, must be alot of rich mechanics in that area. 😂
And they let them drive on the public roads.........
How does Edwards Roofing have a “Highways Maintenance “ chevron on the back of the van? Is that some sort of tax fraud?
Could be a repurposed van
That couldn't have happened..HE HAD A FLASHING LIGHT ON HIS ROOF. 😅😅😅😅😅
1:15 Are the barriers missing? Er I drove round them. Here is one cone I removed.
What a load of bell ends
The way these simpletons open the bonnet as if they know what they’re looking at.
The first one was painful..... no regard whatsoever for his vehicle and no clue on top of it but all of that with a lot of vigor. Rest in pieces little Ford Ecotec..... 😞
Ecotec is GM. This is a PSA engine
@@pilskadden Thanks for correcting, still unneccessary wasting an engine.
When they drive into deep water, have they any idea how much a hydro-locked engine costs to repair ( or replace). They smile and laugh trying to hide their embarrassment when they emerge from their cars, but once they see the repair bill, they will never do it again. Anything over 10 years old and its scrap value only
Love the way all the land rover drivers are lording it up like they finally have a reason to be driving a tractor. I do about 30000 miles a year, about 1 of them may possibly involve some sort of water if I’m unlucky and which I can usually detour around. To my mind I’d rather drive in comfort for 29000 miles and be inconvenienced for 1 than drive a Massey Ferguson all year just in case.
Some years back after a heavy snowfall here in Surrey (UK) a loudmouth neighbour bought a 4WD SUV and was boasting how they were going to be pulling cars out the next time it snowed. Well come the next snowfall the 4WD SUV sat on their drive.
It's exactly like your choice. They rather drive 3k miles in a car they want to than in a car some random UA-cam comment section guy wants them into. Guy owns a defender he prolly has other cars
What about the other 999 miles?
@@UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ if there were 1 mile of water in every 30000 and you’d been through 999 miles of water, your defender would have done 29,970,000 miles. At an average of 60mph that’s 57 years constant motoring. I think I’ll just take the detour round the problem!
I'm Malaysian 🇲🇾 on monday morning watching British people driving thru waters and im amazed by how brave you guys go thru that water that way 😭 anyway done subscribed.
They are not brave, they drive at speed believing they will arrive at the other side unscathed; little do they know……or they know little
Ignorant rather than brave.
I have a 4x4 and know exactly where the air intake is. I walk anything dodgy before driving it.
@00:34 - that Toyota Hilux driver clearly likes to give off that arrogance, doesn't (s)he - potentially soaking that lad. How I'd love to give that person some words of advice........
That’s a ford ranger
Why do people think that they can drive at normal speed into a deep flood and SERIOUSLY?? Expect their vehicles to keep going.
I have a 4x4 and I wouldn’t even consider such a dumb, stupid, idiotic stunt, unless your engine is specifically “Waterproof/Watertight “
Thank God I can get my fix again. I have been craving this ever since Rufford ford was closed
Gutted for the Focus driver in the first clip, there's at least £20 worth of damage there.
Some random guy turns up in armour plated golf buggy 😂😂
Farm car
0:02 how to destroy an engine within seconds 😂
That focus was well and truly locked. I wonder if the beacon light was to warn people hes an idiot
If the land rover defender didn't have electrical problem before, it does now.
Being a defender it had electrical problems the moment it left the factory.
Always a good time! TY!
You can tell by looking at the guy with the glasses that he was 'short changed' when braincells were given out.
Pretty much what you would expect from somebody who can’t wear trousers properly!
