Every winter at the local breakers yard you would see the latest 4x4 deliveries. People don't seem to realise that just because you have a 4x4 doesn't mean you can go fast in bad conditions, it just means you can keep going, but slowly!

I don't look at a estuary and think, yes, I'll cross that in my car. For some reason, once people see theres tarmac underneath they still look at it as been a road, I see something that's only suitable for boats.

Great Video Tom! All the golden moments rolled into one 😂😂 I love all these clips...My favourite is Mrs Angry Fiesta 07:16 She's going to get you in her destroyed car 😂😂😂😂
The angry blue Fiesta has had an excellent MOT record every March until March 2022 when it expired, never to be renewed again. I'm not sure whether it was the water or the stupidity of the driver that killed it but, either way, it's dead. 😉
@@crapcopter An annual Government mechanical and safety inspection that all cars in the UK have to pass before they can be used on the road for another year. I would guess that the blue Fiesta has now been scrapped as it will never pass another MOT. The cost of repairing it will be more than the value of the car.
@@crapcopter It's usually done by private companies, paid for by the car owner; the govt just collects the results (well, the firm doing the test sends them to the govt department responsible, to be exact). You only need them when the car is more than 3 years old (I think it's 3, I've never had a car new enough to not need one).
Most cars here are totalled anyway. Not just by hydrolock but the water entering the inside of the car finishes it off. That's pretty undoable to dry it without future electric problems.
And she sounds just like the type of tart that would normally take great delight in filming anything that moved, just to put on Facebook so all of her friends can 'lol' at it.
The 4x4 clips are the best. If only we could hear what conversation was going on before they went through it. Probably something on the lines of: "meh! This beast can handle this easily!"
Once water gets into the engine’s air intake and cylinders, the pistons try to compress the water. The connecting rods bend depending on the speed and momentum of the car. I will never go through a deep ford but take a long diversion to avoid them it saves a fortune.
There's a road near me that floods quite badly when it rains heavily. I've seen my fair share of cars sat with an engine that has gone bang on the other side of the flooded road. What I do is, is turn around go back the way I came go up to the nearest roundabout (about a mile an half up the road) turn left loop around and then I'm back on the same road having avoided the flooded section within 10 minutes. Might add a few miles to my journey but hey I'd rather that than screwing my engine up.
Colin CK. I live in a village in the UK that has two rivers that join up into one, and the roads in and out get flooded quickly if we have torrential rain for a few days. Being a motor mechanic I have seen it all over the last 50 years. Not only engines being ruined by bent conrods but also the electrics, with all later cars having canbus wiring and ECUs it doesn't take much to write a car off, especially if it's submerged for any length of time. It doesn't end there even if some repairs are done to get it going at a lot of expense as a few months down the line wheel bearings start to fail because oil seals are designed to stop lubricant getting out but water can get in. Even gearboxes and a RWD differentials can get water into them via breather tubes. I also wouldn't bother to even try knowing what can happen in water as deep as in the video.
Back in my 20's I discovered the joys of hydro-locking an engine. 6 month old Golf GT(red)I, turns out water doesn't like to compress, who knew! The damage to the engine with getting a small amount of water into the intake and then one of the cylinders was remarkable, it actually managed to bend the conrod (and they are substantial on a PD150) so much that the bottom of the piston dropped down and locked the crank with enough force to put a hairline crack in the block. Had to stick a recon in it. Lesson learned !!!!
In Davao Philippines last night after torrential rain, we had to get through several floods. Many cars stopped at the sides of the road and a few conked out in the water. Gauging the depth by the height on the kerbstones, we crawled through on idle with no bow wave (Toyota Innova). Several who were stopped waited to see if we got through, then followed us. It's speed that wrecks your engine - not only does it shoot water into the engine intake, but also fills your sump. Cars don't run well on water as a lubricant, so those Discoverys and Range Rovers are in for an engine change.
Tom, this is a great compilation of Ruford failures. Thanx a bunch for that. I just wonder of how naively people are who ride that fas t into the water, that it destroyes their engine. Hope they learn the hard way.
Not sure what's more British - attempting something without the full mechanical capability to succeed, or taking delight in other people coming unstuck! 😆
It's very British to indulge in schadenfreude at places like this. The cameras on tripods are a dead giveaway that it's probably best to take a detour...
That guy in the lifted Landrover really thought he had the right kit! He doesn't even have a snorkel fitted, that like the first thing you buy if you plan to drive into water! 🤣

It always amazes me the stupidity of some of these drivers. What do thay thinks going to happen when thay drive in and the waters 💧 over the bonnet 🤔 lol 😆 great vid cheers
Testosterone. Most of the men are bald.
……some folk are literally as thick as 💩💩💩
after watching 30 seconds of this video,
i was supposed to write exactly the same comment 😆
yeah, it seems endless!
Most of them going to fast to
You can use the online MOT checker to see how many of these cars got written off afterwards - at least 3 of these cars are no longer on the road 🤣
Sitting in a Coparts somewhere waiting to be picked up for £100! Profit
ouch!
You got time on your hands, saddo
@@AB-hu2uw wow, thanks, such a nice thing to say
@@jordan3405 well at least you could buy the wrecked vehicle for £100 and then sell on any useful parts that may be salvageable (not the engine, as that would be knackered) - before scrapping the shell 😛
The funny thing is there is an elevated pathway for pedestrians, but there is not one for cars. Is that an scheme settled by the town's mechanics? Anyway, keep up the great work.
I get this is a joke, but for anyone wondering. The river is not deep enough to warrent a bridge being built. There are also many ways around the ford :D
@@callumnegus9906 thanks for the explanation I’ve been wondering why a bridge isn’t built and if there’s an easy detour!
@@ANDYMANcreations Going through Ollerton it's about 3-5 mins extra travel time. People just love hydrolocking theircars it seems.
@@ericpeterson9110 used cars are dirt cheap in England
It's a Ford, its 3 inches deep for most of the year.
Exceptional British road infrastructure. I have never seen anything like it in Holland or Germany 😂
Kris- this is a very old tradition.
We know German humor is no laughing matter. I didn’t realize our Netherlander friends suffered from the same malady
Great Video Tom! All the golden moments rolled into one 😂😂
I love all these clips...My favourite is Mrs Angry Fiesta 07:16 She's going to get you in her destroyed car 😂😂😂😂
Lolll
...as she coasts into a rock wall, making it worse
@@matthewbowen5841 😂😂😂 👍
The angry blue Fiesta has had an excellent MOT record every March until March 2022 when it expired, never to be renewed again. I'm not sure whether it was the water or the stupidity of the driver that killed it but, either way, it's dead. 😉
What is a "MOT"
@@crapcopter An annual Government mechanical and safety inspection that all cars in the UK have to pass before they can be used on the road for another year. I would guess that the blue Fiesta has now been scrapped as it will never pass another MOT. The cost of repairing it will be more than the value of the car.
@@richardsutton01 Thanks mate, didn't know government inspected cars, sounds like a hassle.
@@crapcopter It's usually done by private companies, paid for by the car owner; the govt just collects the results (well, the firm doing the test sends them to the govt department responsible, to be exact). You only need them when the car is more than 3 years old (I think it's 3, I've never had a car new enough to not need one).
Most cars here are totalled anyway. Not just by hydrolock but the water entering the inside of the car finishes it off. That's pretty undoable to dry it without future electric problems.
I love it how so many people go in and turn right in to the actual river.
Wow man, I found it very satisfactory, congratulations 🎉🎉
I love how the first guy's demeaner is like this is a perfectly normal every day occurrence that all drivers face.
He does try and front it out!! Even more epic fail than his fording : )
Normal for him maybe.
You mean like he does this every single morning in the way to work?
Drivers/ Boat Captains 😅
I found this channel by accident and am addicted to it. Well done to those making the content and keeping it afloat (pun intended!)
Lol same here
I like how that guy's snorkel at around 4:09 is just for looks
Can’t believe the guy in the silver Land Rover with “big” wheels went through it twice. Different speeds but same result. Nice work fella🤪
This was lovely, reminded me of a childhood pastime i had long forgot! Incredible nothings been done at all in over 20 years!
The Beemer with water pouring out when they open the door is priceless.
Obviously the Beamer driver thought his car was better than everyone else’s until he proved it wasn’t 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love the "turn your phones off" one. Yeah, that's going to happen isn't it ? 🤣
innit*
And she sounds just like the type of tart that would normally take great delight in filming anything that moved, just to put on Facebook so all of her friends can 'lol' at it.
Can't believe the local council closed it saying they didn't have enough money to rectify the issue. They should have opened a garage next to it...
Imagine having an off-road car and still don’t know how to drive it through deep waters 😂😂😂😂
You think any of these cars have ever been off road in their lives? They're a status symbol nothing more.
The SHAME of it Total MUPPETS
There the Clive "emergency group".
Haven't seen a real offroad car in here. SUV is not a car, it's a big penis substitute.
@@danke4051
Check your eyesight? There were several.
I've just checked on Google Maps, and to go around it adds 1.1 miles to your journey.
Not as much fun for us though 😁
Take note of all these number plates and avoid buying them if you see them come up for sale cheap 😂
The driver was pretty much useless lmfao
Imagine the electrical problems you would get from a German car with flood damage.
Lol the Velar guy suddenly realising the only real Range Rover part is the badge 🤣
Haha, good one 👍🏼
Was tempted to get one. Not anymore!
that Velar was tall enough to ford this depth, unfortunately it was being driven by someone with more money than brains
I think James May would refer to each and every one of them «What a pillock» 🤣
The 4x4 clips are the best. If only we could hear what conversation was going on before they went through it.
Probably something on the lines of: "meh! This beast can handle this easily!"
I wonder if all of those cars are toast after this or if some of the engines still work after they sucked in water.
I love how the first driver continued to steer even after the car began to float
It must have a rudder at the back!
Once water gets into the engine’s air intake and cylinders, the pistons try to compress the water. The connecting rods bend depending on the speed and momentum of the car.
I will never go through a deep ford but take a long diversion to avoid them it saves a fortune.
There's a road near me that floods quite badly when it rains heavily. I've seen my fair share of cars sat with an engine that has gone bang on the other side of the flooded road. What I do is, is turn around go back the way I came go up to the nearest roundabout (about a mile an half up the road) turn left loop around and then I'm back on the same road having avoided the flooded section within 10 minutes. Might add a few miles to my journey but hey I'd rather that than screwing my engine up.
True the "herky-jerk" judder as they come to a stop... it's SAW for petrol heads.
Some of those cars are worth so much money and they risk complete engine failure for not taking a diversion.
@@Jennyo8xx are the cars then complete write offs? I imagine they will invalid their insurance as they knowingly did it?
Colin CK. I live in a village in the UK that has two rivers that join up into one, and the roads in and out get flooded quickly if we have torrential rain for a few days. Being a motor mechanic I have seen it all over the last 50 years. Not only engines being ruined by bent conrods but also the electrics, with all later cars having canbus wiring and ECUs it doesn't take much to write a car off, especially if it's submerged for any length of time. It doesn't end there even if some repairs are done to get it going at a lot of expense as a few months down the line wheel bearings start to fail because oil seals are designed to stop lubricant getting out but water can get in. Even gearboxes and a RWD differentials can get water into them via breather tubes. I also wouldn't bother to even try knowing what can happen in water as deep as in the video.
The duck casually floating by a stuck car 😂
BMW drivers make my day love it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That first one tried to steer when the car floated
“I’m warning ya, I’ll come and get ya” 😂😂😂
Nice to see a free spectator sport that gives. So much enjoyment to the young.
The phrase, "All the gear, no idea" springs to mind with a lot of these attempts.
They have built a permanent viewing platform for the social media industry. 😂
I've got a 4x4 it will go through and over everything.. Oh sh*t wait no it won't 😂. Great vid
Back in my 20's I discovered the joys of hydro-locking an engine. 6 month old Golf GT(red)I, turns out water doesn't like to compress, who knew! The damage to the engine with getting a small amount of water into the intake and then one of the cylinders was remarkable, it actually managed to bend the conrod (and they are substantial on a PD150) so much that the bottom of the piston dropped down and locked the crank with enough force to put a hairline crack in the block. Had to stick a recon in it. Lesson learned !!!!
Yeah, by a Toyota diesel.
Got to love how some of these people seem to think give it a few revs afterwards will somehow straighten those bent con rods !!!! 😁
Hopefully everyone is noting the registrations down for when they reappear on the secondhand market.
In Davao Philippines last night after torrential rain, we had to get through several floods. Many cars stopped at the sides of the road and a few conked out in the water. Gauging the depth by the height on the kerbstones, we crawled through on idle with no bow wave (Toyota Innova). Several who were stopped waited to see if we got through, then followed us. It's speed that wrecks your engine - not only does it shoot water into the engine intake, but also fills your sump. Cars don't run well on water as a lubricant, so those Discoverys and Range Rovers are in for an engine change.
Love how you can see them trying to steer the car while it's floating around all over the place!
Every time I watch your videos I think 'Why don't they build a bridge?' but then I realise that we would miss all this fun 😂
True 😂 it is like a challenge for cars
Thank you for your service :-)
3:46 - I've just pulled an SUV out, time to drive through like a fool _with my fake snorkel._ Oh dear. 😂
Tom, this is a great compilation of Ruford failures. Thanx a bunch for that. I just wonder of how naively people are who ride that fas t into the water, that it destroyes their engine. Hope they learn the hard way.
When your car starts floating is when you know it wasn't a good idea
One should probably already know that when you read that it’s 2ft deep water
Open the doors so that the water can flow through.
@@roadie3124 😂😂😂
Videos like this one make you realize the channel’s name should be “here comes another drowned BMW”
Got to love the little ducks swimming around saying "Look at those @$$holes!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not sure what's more British - attempting something without the full mechanical capability to succeed, or taking delight in other people coming unstuck! 😆
It's very British to indulge in schadenfreude at places like this. The cameras on tripods are a dead giveaway that it's probably best to take a detour...
That guy in the lifted Landrover really thought he had the right kit! He doesn't even have a snorkel fitted, that like the first thing you buy if you plan to drive into water! 🤣
Always a waste of a nice Land Rover Discovery doing that, and driving through a ford. Cretins.
Never gets old for me
