Unbelievable what they can do they defenders stunning loved the video tractor should have stopped for u save u getting the wave from him hope the Landy was ok afterwards when u drove out excellent machines
I love my defender. Been through quite a few big ponds but nothing like that. No worries Land rover, when you stop production of the defender we can always make that trip in a Evoque
Police officer - "sir do you know why I pulled you over" Driver - "umm no" Police officer - " sir the reason that I pulled you over is because you have no registration sticker on the side of your boat.
Well done guys, there was a point when I honestly thought you would make it. I was sat tight until the end of the video!!! Also pretty good sealing for a defender no? Guess you have it prepared with snorkel, diff breathers and something else? Congrats, great video!
It's rather funny, the people claiming its irresponsible etc, probably have to make a very long journey round the floods in the 'posh' cars. Yet us land rovers can just drive through thr floods as that's what landys are built for. For example-motor way or off roading... Obviously off roading. Same with this...long way round or straight through it...oh straight through it cause that's what land rovers are for :)
Got to hand it to the defender what ever you think about this drive pretty impressive vehicle to do that, im surprised how little water it took onboard, most seemed to come through the heater air vent didnt it, you obviously know that road well.
The main problem I find when wading in my Defender through flooded lanes (apart from abandoned vehicles) is knowing where the edge of the tarmac is - do you know this road well?
I only seen this as it was on the bbc news after typing in welney. The police said it was irresponsible and dangerous, that made me laugh. Need to open up the 4x4 centre again!!
i use a mitsubishi l200 (3rd gen -2005 model year) and i got to go like this, but i noticed my engine temp dropping to a very low range, is that normal?
I couldn't wait to get to high ground and I'm sittin in my kitchen not that land rover 😰He who hesitates is lost been in a similar situation in my FJ40 two kids water over the bonnet bloody scary and I only travelled a third of the distance this guy did. Irresponsible? Yes, Exciting not really, you have a long time to think of a disastrous outcome. The kids were oblivious they loved it, were they in danger,,,, not really there was a high walk way all the way out. There grown now and still talk about it, fair play to these two and there trusty landrover RESPECT 🤙
why? a vehicle like this is perfectly able to deal with those conditions. Did almost the same in my L200 the other day... or are you worried about the birdies?
Defender what more is there to say. I have always wanted 1 of these fine machine's. It regularly floods 4.5 feet to 5 feet deep at least on a rural lane that runs under a motorway bridge by qhere i live in the uk the best i ever saw was a yupi gobshite in a brand new range rover sport like weeks old it didnt even get half way engine hydrolocksbut the look on the drivers face when a defender sailed on by and dragged him deeper but got him out. Ha ha 1 new write off 1 wet dick head good day had by all i think. 😁 Defender all day baby.

+dont 3 put I hate the Evoque... Defenders will always be the only reasonable vehicles that LR build.
Excellent bit of footage demonstrating how a prepared Defender can handle wading
You must have been secretly cacking it!
Grrreat!! Good to see a member of the Land Rover Defender submarine club out and about!
That moment when it turns from fun to stress!
Police officer - "sir do you know why I pulled you over"
Driver - "umm no"

justin moss lol 😂
Ive been through here in a lorry when it was really deep. The scariest part is trying to guess were the road is.

Excellent stuff! Landy doing what it was designed for :D
Ayyyyy beautiful waves maaaan
Good video . Keep doing cool stuff and always video record
Brilliant!!! Better than a 25 mile round trip!!!
I have heard of water cooled engine, surely that is a bit O.T.T
well done chaps it's good to see
Did you guys have a snorkel and if not I know it would still be able to do that Defenders for life
can not do this without a good snorkel... it's very simple, the engine need breathing
Have you ever seen a defender without a snorkel.
I live in that village where this happens, it was so high that year you couldn't see under the bridge, its quite cool living there
damm... that is probably the best wading video i have seen! nearly sh*t my pants just watching! lol - awesome!!

At least it isn't a Corsa getting stuck in a puddle. Nothing makes me want a landrover more, than watching them be awesome :)
Impressive, was that using a snorkel?
I have travelled this road a few years ago and there are white painted perches to mark out the road... not many in the vid tho ;o)

I was panicking and I wasn’t even there!
Water is coming in! 🤣
Will a 2.4/2.2 Puma with a snorkel do that with all it's electronics etc?
How long can thy do that for
Truely awesome!
i use a mitsubishi l200 (3rd gen -2005 model year) and i got to go like this, but i noticed my engine temp dropping to a very low range, is that normal?
jnr1989 No man it's not normal my hilux doesn't do that
Excellent bit of Off Roading !
Hmm, it has been well below zero for the last week here in Switzerland and my Land Rover won't even start... much less go swimming!
Proper cooling that, hard to follow the road.

do you have a snorcal
There's no way he got through this without one.
true
we all use to go thro this on push bikes seen some nasty stuff tho
why? a vehicle like this is perfectly able to deal with those conditions. Did almost the same in my L200 the other day... or are you worried about the birdies?
I've went there
What engine it is on that defender td5 or tdi?
Did you have a snorkel on it?
I can't understand why this is in the news as "irresponsible"... would be a different story if you were rescuing someone. Nice drive!
Seen the bad press but good driving !
1- you knew the road for sure...2 - and what if the tarmac had collapse under the water pressure? 3 - luckily you had a snorkel... Oh! You didn't?
That was so cool.
That washed it, good driving.
got pretty gnarly at 1:57 lol!

Some people need a serious kick in the bum!! This landy is doing what it's been designed to do and people are crying over it, get a grip people!!
Good to watch but that was just silly boys. Could have gone wrong very quickly.
